Saw a clip of Tammy Faye Baker (Messner) last night on the Larry King Live show and the poor thing is dying of cancer and looks horrible. I feel so bad for her. This once vibrant woman has wasted away to nothing (65 lbs) and looks it. It's a shock to see death in her face. But the miraculous thing is her Spirit is still strong. Her love for the Lord and her witness to Him is what matters. She is my sister in the Lord and I'm praying for her. Yes, she knows where she is going when she leaves this earth and that is her hope, that's what keeps her strong in her physical weakness. Her dying brings God glory.
"For we know that in the tent, which is our earthly home, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent, we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened--not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared for us this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
So we are always of good courage...." 2 Corinthians 5:1-6a
