Revelation 4-Then I looked, and, oh!--a door open into Heaven.
Nehemiah 5.1-7.3- They knew that God was behind this work.
Psalm 99-Lift high GOD, our God; worship at his holy mountain.
Acts 14.19-28-They encouraged the followers and begged them to remain faithful. They told them, "We have to suffer a lot before we can get into God's kingdom."

The Middletown Hospital. A local series of buildings placed together to care for the sick- To bring hope and love to those in need of healing-To ease the pain of the dying. For some a door open into Heaven. My Father breathed his last at this place so many years ago. Friends and family have also died here. I have felt healing here as well as seen healing in others-many others. Then I looked, and oh!--a door open into Heaven. In healing and dying and the Word proclaimed in this place--a door open into Heaven. People of God suffering but living --some suffering and dying. Life and death. God's presence in this place -- in Life and in death. Remain faithful. God is faithful in this place- in Life and in death. Jesus was faithful to my salvation. In his Life and in his Death. A Death that brought Life to all---not just to me or you but to all. And in Jesus Life, Suffering and Death -- this place-- this hospital-- we can lift high God, our God and worship at his holy mountain--- in Life and in Death!--right here at this hospital.

Lord, you are present in Life and in death- in joy and in suffering-- you know all and are all-- I place my hope and trust in you today. ---Amen
