It hung there for years. It was beautifully embroidered in blue and purple and scarlet. It was there to keep sinful men out and it was there to enclose God in, in front of His mercy seat. I refer to the veil in the Jewish temple that separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies. When Jesus died, suddenly without warning, the veil was torn from top to bottom, as if by a pair of unseen, giant hands. James Stewart states that the torn veil stands for several things: (1) The opening of a road - the offer of a right of way for all who care to travel it. (2) The confirming of a hope - the guarantee of life eternal. (3) It reveals the very heart of God, as if to say, "God loves you" and it is the cross that declares that without ambiguity.
On a medical note: We were thrilled to receive the MRI report today, that it is clear, with no change from last month! Blood work was also done today, but we have not received that report.

Dr. Atkins, Ryan and I were just directed to your blog and learned about your health issues. Ryan has asked me a million times through the years where you and your family were. You were one of his favorite teachers (and mine) at Trinity. We'll be praying for you and your family.
