And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!(Revelation 14:13)Penny Adams, a lady I baptized a couple of years ago in Lincoln, NE, died today. She was in her late 70’s and a painfully thin woman. She had a rough life before she came to know the church and soon afterwards, the Lord.
She was a large woman, from all I heard, who started losing weight. By the time I knew her, she was down to 85 or so pounds. She had left Lincoln to move to Stroud, OK, to be with her family.
But she had such a sweet and giving spirit. She was always cheerful and loved being with her church family.
She was one of the four ladies who went from Lincoln to the Ladies Convention in 2009 and she had such a good time. She had received some money for something and was able to pay her own way and the way of a couple of other ladies and was so pleased.
She was in ill health the whole time I knew her. And sometimes it was painful to even look at her, she was so thin. But she was so large in spirit.
I really liked Penny. She is with her Lord now. May he receive her and bless her with his presence.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
