Today I have found out that my
boss (well, one of them) died of a heart attack. It's so weird to think that
he's gone! I just saw him yesterday!! We even joked about like normal.
I guess he was just sitting in
his chair resting when he went. I wish I could say that I know for sure he's in
heaven. The truth is I don't think he is. The Bible makes it clear how to get
to heaven. We need to realize we are sinners and accept God's free gift of
salvation. Randy never made a profession of salvation. Of course, I cannot know
for sure until I get there, but I hope Randy got things right with God before
he went to meet Him.
I have to say, learning of
Randy's passing made me stop and think. When was the last time I witnessed to
him??? Other than random comments here and there (as he tended to be very liberal
and left winged in his agenda), I couldn't remember when. Another coworker and I
will often engage in spiritual/religious conversations on friendly terms. But with
Randy, it was different. He was so convinced that he was right, that you
couldn't get through to him.
This just serves to be a lesson
to me that you can never know when someone will no longer be there. You must be
ready and able to give a defense of the hope you believe in with meekness and
fear. Also, I need to be able to share the hope that God gives us through
salvation to everyone that I know at any time.
This is too many deaths in such a
short time! We lost Duke earlier this year. Then my grandma died on April 3. Since
then, we have lost 2 dogs and 1 cat. I know they are just animals but animals
become part of our family. It's hard none the less. I'm begging God to stop the
loss around me!!!
God gave Randy over 60 years on
this planet. He lived a wonderful, full life and had a wonderful, loving
family. I have enjoyed working under Randy and Aaron Redinger for these 7 and
some years and will miss the charm that only he could bring to Saturdays. I
will continue to pray for the family in this very hard time.
All my ♥ ~ Crissy
