A Special Message from Charles Carrin:

Sunday  afternoon, March 25, 2012,  my  wife Laurie went home to be with the Lord. I have wept but more for the goodness of God than for my loss.  For  several  days  Laurie had been in a coma, under the care of Hospice, and on Sunday morning I told her that our daughter and  family  were  arriving that afternoon.  I believed she could hear even though she could not respond. Within a few minutes after our daughter Cecile and grandson Ben coming to her bedside, loving and praying for her, she quit breathing.  The event was silent, so  holy,  that  for  several minutes we were unaware that she was gone.  A holy calm overlay the scene.   In reality, my wife was waiting for them to come–and when they did--she turned loose.

The  funeral service will be held Wednesday morning, 11:00 a.m., at my former church, Grace Community, 715 South Federal Highway, Boynton Beach.  Visitation will be the evening before, Tuesday, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. I would like for pastors to serve as Honorary Pallbearers.  In lieu of flowers–if desired–contributions may be made to “Laurie’s Memorial Fund”, Charles Carrin Ministries.  Thank you for being my wonderful friends.  

In Jesus, 

Charles Carrin 
Cicero Comments On Today’s Politics
     In the history of the Roman Empire no other speaker surpassed Marcus Tullius Cicero, 115-53 BC.   His writings on politics, philosophy, other topics, still influence Western thought today.  As an example, read his comments about a nation’s betrayal from within, remembering that this was spoken before the birth of Christ.  He said,

     "A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly, but the traitor moves against those within the gate freely. The traitor speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their arguments. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear."  -- Marcus Tullius Cicero.
