Whispers from Heaven: Life in the Middle
Pastor Tracy Gill's Faith and Family column reflects on how we live in the "middle" between life's beginning and end.
The Woodruff Times ran a short Faith and Family reflection by Pastor Tracy Gill on October 7, 2026. Here is our summary.
The column opens on a beach, where the author looked toward the horizon and could not tell where the sky ended and the ocean began. That blending led to thoughts about life and death: earthly life has a beginning and an end, and the author argues that what happens in between matters most.
From a Christian perspective, the author writes that death is not the final end for those who trust in God, and that how a person lives in the middle shapes their path toward eternity. The middle is described as the place for loving, serving, growing and forgiving. The column points to the crucifixion of Jesus as the foundation of eternal life and cites a verse from the Gospel of John about abundant life.
It closes by encouraging readers to make good choices in the in-between, since none of us can change our beginning or know when our life will end.
