Previous chapter: Beam 157
Tommy stepped up on one of the logs. She was not as tall as Lauren, but she could manage. She addressed the gathering.
“By now many of you know, and others have realized, that Lauren is not here. She was taken from us sometime yesterday. We will miss her. I know she is still alive in another place. My grief is that we have to continue without her.”
She scanned the crowd. “After the meeting today, I’d like to meet with the six leaders so we can discuss how we’re going to continue. Now, let’s pick up where Lauren left off. We’re still in the Gospel of John, chapter 11, verse 25. John, eleven, twenty-five.” She waited a moment for people to find the page before she read it aloud.
“Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies.”
