I'd guess many of my Charlotte readers have been thinking a lot about Anne Belk recently. After a valiant second battle with cancer, she died August 2. Recognizing how trite this may sound to some, I can't help but smile to know that she is healthy and happy with Jesus now.

Anne kept an online journal over the last 14 months. It's a remarkable story and a piercing testimony to the power of God in her life. As of this evening, 38,768 people have read it! I get chills thinking of the ways God is using her story to bring hope and strength to others. If you have some time, let it bless you, too.

Leaves me remembering something true...

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philipians 1:20-21
