Recently I featured Stephen Bly and his latest book (Throw the Devil Off the Train) here on my blog. As many of you know, Steve passed away last week after a five-year battle with prostate cancer. He was one of those select few able to glorify the Lord by working right up to the final stages of his life. Although he surely is even now meeting with many precious friends in Heaven, those of us who wait to join him have lost the company of a talented and gifted brother.
Please click here to see a brief interview with Steve on my friend Mindy Starns Clark’s blog. She’s taken the time to feature many Christian authors, but offers a video of Steve to share with the rest of us who knew him only through his work. In a separate interview, Steve and his wife Janet recall how their romance began, leading to a nearly 48-year marriage. Click here for a look at that sweet story.
Please join me in lifting up Steve’s wife Janet and their family in prayer, and I hope you’ll take a closer look at the work he left behind for us to enjoy. Visit Steve and Janet’s websites at:

This week, let’s be reminded that everything around us is only temporary—except the people God brings into our lives. Let’s do life with an eye on eternity!
I really like that, "Let's do life with an eye on eternity." It really summarized how I have been thinking about life these days.
Me, too!
Maureen: Thank you so much for this post. Greatly appreciated!
Blessings,
Janet Chester Bly
I was blessed to have the opportunity to share some of your stories, Janet! Continued prayers going up on your behalf –
