Karen

I received sad news from my sister today. My brother-in-law's sister, Karen, passed away this morning. She was 43 years old and has been battling breast cancer for the last 13 years.

Although I only met her a couple of times, I have some very vivid memories of her:

One is that she was always smiling.
- Another is from my sister's wedding. She was swing dancing with my sister's friend, Kalb. - She accidentally stepped on her skirt, ripped it, then had to hike it up and hold it for the rest of the dancing. It didn't stop her!
- Her wedding picture with Jim. They were married in a rain forest (I believe). He is dipping her in the photo and you can tell the love that they have for each other. He was with her every step of the way, even when she passed.

I pray for Jason and his family.

On Eagles Wings
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust."

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

The snare of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

For to His angels He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
