I
t is said that in the heat of a
battle during World War II,
Winston Churchill gave a speech
that consisted of one sentence.
He said, “Never, never, never,
never give up!” I don’t know if
that’s really the only thing he
said, but I do believe the Holy
Spirit is speaking that one thing
to many of us today. Don’t give
up, because God has so much in
store for our lives.
Don’t stay stuck! It’s very
easy to want to give up when
things get hard. Sometimes
people get stuck where they are
and don’t know how to get out,
so they think giving up would
be easier. It may be they feel
they’re not smart or talented
enough…maybe
something
traumatic happened to them…
or they may have failed at some-
thing or made terrible mistakes
in the past.
But the Holy Spirit anoints
us to press in, to press on and
go through to our victory, even
if things don’t go the way we
planned. Failure does not mean
there are no more options. You
can learn from past mistakes…
history is a good teacher. Try
again…if nothing else, you’ll
learn what works and what
doesn’t work and go from there.
You can turn your obstacle into
an opportunity to grow wiser
and mature spiritually.
God wants us to live a good
life. However, there is no eleva-
tor ride to a good life. Trust and
perseverance are a must. John
10:10 tells us that “the thief
comes in order to steal and kill
and destroy. I came that they
Ralph C. Humphrey Jr.
June 5, 1959- June 7, 2015
Ralph’s life was fi lled with kindness, love
and laughter. He was always there with
a helping hand if you needed one, or a
funny story when you were down. Ralph
took pride in being a Native American
and enjoyed bow hunting, fi shing on the
river, and dancing in the kitchen.
As we say farewell to a much loved man, he is preceded in death
by his mother, Jean, and is survived by his son, Nathan, two
daughters, Lonna and Kristen, three grandchildren, Brianna,
Summer and Joshua. Also surviving him are his father, three
sisters, four nieces and nephews, four great nieces and nephews
and a host of friends that he called family.
Please join us for a celebration of life at Elijah Bristow Park in
Dexter, Oregon on Sunday July 12, 2015 at 2pm.
