"John-Paul {Carter} has been received into the loving arms of God. The sacrifice of Christ has assured Johnny {Carter} a safe passage into everlasting life. The Lord is coming back to take us home. There will be a reunion. We will be together. These are truly words of comfort. They do not say, "Stop grieving." They do not say, "You should be feeling better." They do not say, "Snap out of it." They say, "A better day is coming." And that assurance of a better day has the power to console me in the midst of my pain. We are knit together with Johnny {Carter} in Christ and in the Church. We are still family, and will be forever."~
"Yes, You heal the brokenhearted. But not the way people think. You heal us to the point of recognizing that we will never be whole until we are home with You. It makes the images You give us for life so much more real - a battle, a journey, a narrow road. Through it all, Your love carries us and works it to the good."
