13. Memorial Day
• Who will you think about this
Memorial day?
• As you reflect, what does your loved
one’s life show you about the time
between their conversion and home?
• More importantly, look at your life
since you became a Christian. Who
can you tell that story to?
• The reminder of Revelation’s picture
• Romans 12ff. The “be” between
conversion and home.
• Let us tell the story of “Life Together”
