R.I.P. Dionysia - August 20, 2014
Posted: February 8, 2015 | Last Revised: February 8, 2015
Dionysia was her name. She wore beautiful earthly brown eyes. We met once. Twice we conversed on that same day about The Lords Day. I can tell this was her delight. She occupied me with a giant St. Bernard; while she scrambled to the back, and brought out her bible to truly converse. Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she opened it and searched for the appointed scripture. I continued to expound and explain about misconceptions, confusions and deceptions, and to my amazement not only did she perceive what I was saying she understood it better than anyone I have ever encountered. I said, "The rapture is not in the bible", and she responded with, "that's because the Greek translation is not saying that you will be caught up, but rather caught in the act of doing something bad". I immediately understood what she was saying, and she had boldness about this verse which most people don't even wish to discuss. And there she was happy as can be, and happy to discuss further the things of God. I wondered for a second why she held fast the scripture more so than most people I've met. And then as if she reading my mind she said, "You know I am not perfect", to which I said, "No one is". Then she said that she has been through a lot in her life and that it's brought her closer to God; and that her faith is stronger than before in the Lord. And I thought to myself, "This person truly knows God". I remember her, as if almost another reminder from Christ himself reminding me that no one is worthy and no one is perfect, thus our hope literally needs to be on Christ only and nothing more. The conversation was quickly saturated with sundries of topics from Greek food to gardening, as she showed us her garden in the back yard overlooking the green hills leading to Pikes Peak. She showed us her chickens and horses. She loved horses. And I am happy to have met this beautiful sister in Christ. For now she sleeps as we will sleep, till one day we will see our blessed savior Jesus Christ.
