Darla, Tom's sister, provided the following update late this evening. Your prayers on Father's Day are most urgently needed, brothers ans sisters.
We have been with Deb in St.Louis. Charity and Hal are here this weekend. Nellie was here earlier this week. Our sister Sheila, and her husband are coming in this weekend from Dallas, TX, our niece is coming from Philadelphia, so ASAP means ASAP to us. Our dear sweet Pastor, sister, mentor, is gravely ill. Please pass this on so the body of Christ can pray tomorrow morning in corporate worship for dear saint, Deborah Smith. Gratefuly, Darla-

Dear Deb,
There is not a day that goes by that either Susan or myself think or pray for you and Tom. You both are such a big part of our lives. Not just as Pastors/Elders but as friends. We miss you.
I know how much you love and enjoy praise/worship music. During service last week at New Song, they played this song written by Dale Evrist and it pushed me to tears thinking of you and Tom. I hope you find meaning and peace in the words. I plan on sending a CD of this song for you to enjoy.
Alive
Verse 1:
I love You, my Lord
My rock and my fortress
You rescued my life
When freedom seemed hopeless
You parted the heavens
And came down
When death gathered ‘round
And threatened to slay me
I cried out for help
Your grace came and saved me
No longer alone
Now my soul thrives
Chorus:
And You are my God
The one that I run to
The source of my strength
My shelter and refuge
Deep down inside my soul
You’ve created something new
Lord I come alive in You
Verse 2:
You reached from on high
And saved me from drowning
Your love drew me out
Your angels surround me
You set my feet
On wide open places
Bridge:
I’m alive
Hallelujah
Death is done
Hallelujah
Life has won
Hallelujah
You have come
Hallelujah
Verse two, when they talk about the "angels surround me" made me think of your paintings of angels.
Forever in His love
Mike & Susan
