Cranial Crisis for Lanyons

My cherished plans may go astray,

My hopes may fade away,

But still I'll trust my Lord to lead

For He doth know the way.

Though night be dark and it may seem

That day will never break;

I'll pin my faith, my all in Him,

He maketh no mistake.

There's so much now I cannot see,

My eyesight's far too dim;

But come what may, I'll simply trust

And leave it all to Him.

For by and by the mist will lift

And plain it all He'll make,

Through all the way, though dark to me,

He made not one mistake.

Two days ago in a meeting with a neurosurgeon, staff support, my two sons and a dear church family counselor, I made the most difficult decision I have ever made in my life: to end the life of my dear, dear wife of 35 plus years, after which on November 6 at 8:50pm she breathed her last and entered what must have been one of the noteworthy and grand entrances into heaven.

I am so humbled to have known and loved her. Her life looms now larger than life itself, for I never knew how far her life impacted others, for all of her life!

I have much to experience in these extremely emotional days, but as I review 45 years ago, I'm getting a glimpse God was preparing me through long past days in my Chattanooga Seminary road for such a time as this up here in CT.

Thank you Truth Baptist Church family, especially, and countless friends from the past, Facebook families, and newsletter pals for the support and encouragement for enduring these deep days of wonder and rejoicing in the glory of God for the CT Lanyon Family! — C. Patrick Lanyon remembering Christine Lanyon.
