Piety, a Godly Heritage
Posted by
Piety is the best thing that a parent can teach a child, for as reason makes a man differ from a beast, and as learning and civility make a wise and sober man differ from savages and swaggerers, so piety makes a sound Christian much more to differ from the most civil and well-ordered natural man that can be. Learning, civility, calling, portion, are all nothing without piety…
There is a necessity that children e taught piety, because they are not born but made Christians… Parents are by God made watchmen over their children… They must therefore nurture them in the admonition of the Lord.
—William Gouge “Domestic Duties.”

Death is Not Dying
Rachel Barkey (nee Sawer) went home to her Lord on July 2, 2009 at 37 years of age. Rachel is survived by her husband Neil and her children Quinn and Kate, parents Ben and Cathy Sawer, brother David (Johanna) Sawer and sister Andrea Sawer.
But for Rachel the essence of life was found in her relationship with God through Jesus. And that's why Rachel was convinced that death is not dying.
