Hi, this is Hank Hennograph, president of the Christian Research Institute

and hosted the Bible Answer Man broadcast with another Hank Unplug short.

This one comes from my sister, actually.

My older sister, Jobi, one year older than I am.

She is fighting pancreatic cancer and sending a missive to her praying family and friends.

She's thanking them for their prayers.

She's grateful for their many expressions of love.

And then she tells us that her mind has been riveted upon the truths and promises of God,

particularly riveted on the lyrics of a song titled, Abide with Me,

a song written by Reverend Henry Francis Light, as he himself was dying of

tuberculosis.

Jobie says, the words blessed me.

The words made me realize the brevity of life and the importance of walking closely with our Lord.

And that whether we are on sickness or in health, the verses writes Jobi were especially meaningful to me this past Wednesday, this past Wednesday as I lay on my

hospital bed in the surgical wing on the sixth floor of the hospital. And as I was looking out

on the very wide and tall window facing the beautiful St. Andrew's Cathedral with its gold

cross on top of a tall spire. Joby writes, as I looked through that window, I just loved that view.

I was far above the tree line, and I could see the vast view from miles around. And as I

surveyed and reflected, the sun was dimly shining and the heavy humid air hung, clothing the landscape

prior to the pending storms.

As I continue to watch, writes Jobi, the storms rolling in from the west.

Amazed me.
