Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. –– Revelation 22:1-5 Thursday, January 9, 2014-January 15, 2014 I N R EMEMBRANCE She is survived by her sons, Derek Christopher and wife, Donna of Dallas, NC and Bobby "Chris" Christopher and wife, Sherry of Kings Mountain, NC; daughters, Charlene McSwain and husband, Mike of Belmont and Catherine Dodgens and husband, Robert of Gastonia, NC; sister, Betty Short of Kannapolis, NC; uncle, Blair Gardner of Wrightsville Beach, NC; four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
