Election Projection Remembers

Our prayers are with you, Scott. 

My parents went home to be with the Lord.  Larry and Jean Elliott died for the cause of Christ this day, March 15, 2004 in Mosul, Iraq.  It’s hard to believe four years have passed.  Most days, life’s busy-ness insulates my heart from the pain of loss, and I can reflect with fondness on all the good times and wonderful memories.  But some days, like today as my family and I placed flowers on their headstone, that pain surfaces with surprising freshness.  It still doesn’t seem possible that they are truly gone from this earth.  I miss them terribly today.  Still, I know they are in Paradise, and for that I can rejoice.  And I can rejoice in knowing that someday there will I also be.  I will once again hear Dad’s irresistible laugh and feel the warmth of Mom’s loving smile.  Oh come quickly, Lord Jesus!

  1. My prayers are with you all the way. Oh I hope you feel better and that the words you posted do stick with you. There is no place better than with the Lord.
