Life After Easter

It is with sadness that I share the news of the death of Bob Huskins.  Bob suffered a heart attack this past Saturday and died on Monday with family at his side.  Bob and Marge have been long time, faithful members of our church and we grieve his passing.  If you would like to send a card to Marge, it would be much appreciated.  Her address is:
 

Marge Huskins
710 West 13th Ave.   G216
Escondido, CA  92025

 
Earlier in Lent I mentioned that a very dear friend, colleague and mentor died on Ash Wednesday.  Our faith affirms that death is never the final word and that Easter is the hopeful antidote to life’s most fundamental losses.  Sunday was such a wonderful celebration of the new life offered now as we can all embrace the Good News of Easter!  It is true for Bob, my friend Rev. Dr. Richard L. Stanger and for each of us now and into eternity.  Dick was a poet and here is something he wrote for the season of Eastertide we are entering for these next 50 days.  It’s called, The Art of Resurrection.

In the joy of Easter!

Rev. Dr. David D. Young
