Yesterday was Tom Ryan's last Sunday as the primary interim speaker during our year long transition at Jacob's Well after the departure of Tim Keel our founding pastor. I had the privilege to honor Tom at the end of the 11:00 am service. The congregation graciously gave him a standing ovation. Tom shared this quote in his message today and I think it is quite profound.
“Despair
has been called
the unforgivable sin—not presumably because God refuses to forgive it
but because it despairs of the possibility of being forgiven." Frederick Buechner
That is a very powerful quote.

We all go to the dark places sometimes in our lives. I get great comfort from the scriptures that show others have gone their before and come out, like Job and David. I just keep my hope and trust in God.
