Letters to the Editor Extending Our Hand to the Grieving I was doing a search for Joan Osborn, the singer, and I found your magazine. I think it is a nice magazine. I'm a Christian myself. I believe in God and the Bible. I thought Joan's article (in the February issue of VCM) on the loss of a loved one, somebody close to you, a friend, and what not, was very good. It will help me a lot. I had a very good friend named Adam. He lost his mother almost a year and a half ago in a car accident. It was because of bad weather. There was a fire call and his dad lost control of the truck. I didn't know what to say to Adam when he came back to school. I was at a loss for words. I knew his mother; she was real nice. I didn't know what to say to him. He went on like normal, but I know it has to hurt to lose someone in your family, especially a parent. He was only 16. Joan's article has helped me feel better and know what to say and how to say it a little bit better when I write Adam and talk to him. We've moved since the accident and I felt uncomfortable around him. I was afraid that I was going to say something wrong. As time went by, it got easier to talk to him again. I just thought I would express my thanks. I have just one question. Is the Joan Osborn that wrote that article the same as the singer who sings "One of Us?" I love that song to pieces. I hardly ever hear it anymore. I heard it a couple nights ago and recorded it.... Thanks for taking the time to read this message, -- Christopher Eldredge The Resurrection: The Astounding Biblical Truth Just read this article in The Good News Magazine this week. It is an excellent article. I am thrilled to see this on the Internet. Keep up the good work. Thank you for developing this Virtual Christian Magazine. It is very encouraging to see the progress of the work in this media with so much potential for growth. -- Cambridge, OH I was moved and encouraged by John Miller's article in July's VCM entitled "The Resurrection: Astounding Biblical Truth" After recently losing my father, it so reassuring to know that I will see him someday in the resurrection. -- Hector Earle Thoughts From Dad Just wanted you to know you're doing a great job. I really enjoyed Don Hooser's "Thoughts From Dad." All of the articles that I have read have been very good. -- Gary and Sue Evans Copyright 1999 by United Church of God, an International Association All rights reserved. |
