Welcome to “Karen’s Notes” where once each week I get to share a brief thought from her conference notes or Bible study journal. This will be #312.

Great Scripture for us: “For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17.)

Brief snapshot from Karen’s Notes: What wonderful comfort. We can fully depend on Him to keep His promises to us. He never changes. Because of that, start each new day looking for the very fulfillment of His promise that He Himself will come for us and we shall meet Him in the air. It may be today.

A quick question from Michael: You have been reading the temporary change of formatting Karen’s Notes for the last several weeks. I am curious if any of my friends have a thought to share with me? Do you like the brief Karen’s Notes or do you prefer the slightly longer read. Either is fine with me. I am just wondering what you might be thinking. You can email your thoughts to me at mpeck@bcpusa.org.  Thanks so much.
