The Passing of Ken (Skip) Richarson's Wife Beverly


We at TBS would like to give our condolences to Ken on the passing of his wife Beverly. When a wife or child is lost we grieve for them. This loss will be life changing. We read in Job how he lost his children:

Job 18-19: 18While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: 19And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

He grieved but did not blame God.

Job 22:22In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

This man didn't have the New Testament to read. He believed that God was his maker and was in control. Its ok to grieve, but we remember the promises of God: We will be reunited with our saved loved ones.

Luke 42-43: 42And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

We need to stay in the word to give us the strength and power to continue to do Gods will while we still walk in this place. Again we pray for our Brother in Christ.
