It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

If he ever showed up wanting to talk to you, you knew that it was going to be a bad day.

RIP, Mr. Wallace.
