Quote from Dad

My dad, Glenn Janssen, who attends New Hope when he and Mom are in town, wrote me an interesting thought he had. Maybe you'll think it's interesting, too...

I did some doodling last week which is quite thought provoking in regards to our future. We each have 2 parents; 4 grandparents; 8 grandparents; 16 great grandparents; 32 great-great grandparents, etc. If you go back 19 generations, roughly 500 years, the count goes over 1 million people who had a part in your coming to this life. Just imagine if only 10 per cent of them were believers, you will be greeted by over 100,000 relatives who will be glad you made it to your homecoming. It should be a delight to compare notes with them. How long do you think it will take to get acquainted with them all? Sort of gives me a nice warm feeling.
