Sunday, February 12, 2017Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)Last Saturday a dear friend of mine, Pastor Bruce McComb of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Payette, succumbed to cancer and his soul is now with the Lord whom he loved and served faithfully.His faithfulness, lovingkindness, and integrity were all attested to by his family, congregation, and several pastor friends (including myself), last Tuesday at his funeral service. While we will all miss him dearly, the one overriding and comforting theme of the service was the hope that we have as believers in Jesus Christ.In the Bible “hope,” as used in the usual context, can be defined as “confident expectation.” In the above passage of Scripture, the Apostle Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God, was writing to the believers at Thessalonica who were distressed because while they were anxiously waiting for the return of Jesus Christ some of their loved ones and fellow believers had died, and they were fearful that those who had passed away would miss the coming of the Lord.Paul assured them that this was not the case because, though their body was in the grave, the soul of those who had passed were already with the Lord Jesus Christ and would return with Him when He comes to resurrect, renew, and reunite body and soul of those who had died and catch-up, body and soul, all believers who are still living at the time. And that they all would forever be together with the Lord. This is a promise of great comfort for us.Paul later wrote to the church at Corinth that to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). And to the church at Philippi he wrote: “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his...
Monday, August 29, 2016Mental health crisis hotlines:(208) 334-0808 in Ada, Boise, Elmore, Valley counties.(208) 459-0092 in Adams, Canyon, Gem, Owyhee, Payette, Washington counties.Nigel was edging into that dark territory where his mind would mistake his loved ones for devils. Sharon was scared for his safety and theirs. She wanted someone to put him on a “mental hold” — to take him into protective custody and get him to a hospital until he could be evaluated by a “designated examiner” for court-ordered commitment.Sharon called the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Region 3 crisis line for help on Thursday, April 7, hoping a mental health professional could respond. The crisis worker called Gem County sheriff’s dispatch.“[He has a] history of mental health problems, and his family called concerned. He’s acting paranoid and potentially violent and potentially gravely disabled due to mental illness,” the worker said, according to a tape of the call obtained by the Idaho Statesman. “They’re concerned about him and would like to see if he can be placed on a hold. … When she left for work this morning, she was concerned that he was acting paranoid and violent.”Someone who is “gravely disabled” by a mental illness can be put on a mental hold in Idaho.When a sheriff’s deputy showed up at the door that day — three days before he went missing — Nigel was calmer. He put on the nothing-to-see-here persona that he often could muster when dealing with people outside the family, Sharon said. He hated going to the hospital and knew it was a possibility that day.Taking Nigel to the hospital themselves was not an option. Sharon and Mark tried not to dri...
Monday, August 15, 2016The Payette County Sheriff's Office is investigating the Tuesday evening shooting death of a 17-year-old boy at a home near New Plymouth, but deputies are still trying to determine if the death was accidental or a homicide.“It's definitely not a suicide," Lt. Andy Creech told the Statesman Wednesday. "It was a different person handling the gun when it went off."The teen who died was a Payette resident who was visiting the home in the 5000 block of Highway 52 when the shooting was reported about 8:15 p.m., Creech said.Two other people — one teen and one adult — were present, and one of them called police immediately after the shooting, he said. The boy was dead when deputies arrived, he said.Idaho State Police are assisting with the investigation, Creech said. An autopsy will be conducted, he said.Detectives seized a number of weapons from the home, the lieutenant said, but he declined to provide details.
