My sister is unable to have visitors at this time due to her cancer treatments. Only my parents are able to see her. She has been very sick and they had to shorten this set of treatments due to her health.
Yesterday my mother delivered a letter to me from my sweet sister. She had dictated the words to my mother who put pen to paper for her. While I have no desire to publicize my sisters ordeal or her thoughts, there is a short portion of her letter that may be a blessing to some of you. I thought I would share that portion with you this morning. I hope it blesses you as it did me.
"While my future on this earth is somewhat uncertain, my eternal future is sure. Jordan, please know that while I am still fighting this cancer, I am ready to go home when the call comes. For the first time in my life I can honestly say that I know the peace that passeth all understanding. God is so good! ..."
God brings us strength in many different ways. I know that God sent me strength through my sister's letter. God really is so good!
Have a blessed day!

Your sister is light years ahead of most of us in our walk with the Lord. I would highly recommend getting a hold of Rick Atchley's lectures from the Pepperdine Bible Lectures on Heaven. There is a reason why those like your sister can be at peace when they face life threatening situations. Heaven is truly a wonderful place. For that matter if we truly understand a correct theology of Heaven, we can have the same peace that now pervades your sister.
Our Preacher is doing a similar series and they are quite good. You can listen to them by going to our church website at:

We will continue to pray for your sister, you, and your family.
Thanks for the guidance. I will check both of those out for sure.
