Novelist John Updike tells the story of a fourteen-year-old boy named David. When it's time for questions in his catechism class, David looks to his pastor for answers:
In our side yard a tree has survived ice storms, heavy snows, and howling winds. Several times in the decades we’ve lived here, I thought it would fall. Now I expect it to long outlast me. I’ve taken pictures of my preschool daughters in that tree, and of their children, my grandsons. It has lost many thick limbs, but others have grown, and harsh circumstances have made it stronger. In contrast, many protected and untested trees have long since fallen.

Many would list people and relationships as their treasures. Other than Jesus, the greatest treasure I've ever had on Earth is Nanci. Because Jesus is in Heaven, and He is my greatest treasure, my heart has long been there. But with Nanci also there, my heart and mind are often in that other place.

I have listened to “I Will Rise Again” multiple times recently, and it takes me back to a crucial time in my life. The song came out in 1977 which was the year Stu Weber and his wife Linda and my wife Nanci and I and many of our closest friends were planting our church, when I was 22 and Stu was 31. (Now I'm 70! You can do the math on Stu.) I vividly remember listening to that song repeatedly the first few years of our church, and it was a source of great blessing to Nanci and to me and to what became Good Shepherd Community Church.
Over the last two and a half years of grief since Nanci died, I have been sensing deeply the friendship of Jesus.
Scripture commands us to set our hearts on Heaven: “Set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God” ( Colossians 3:1 ). And to make sure we don’t miss the importance of a Heaven-centered life, the next verse says, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things [alone].”
