God Bless Reader's Digest

You gotta love them. Most of us have, for years, endured the various telemarketers to manage to call us at all hours...in their never-ending quest to separate us from our money.

My Dad, John Gerk, died on November 27, 1992. He was the most awesome Dad anyone could have. I'll even write more about him in a later post.

What does he have to do with Reader's Digest?

My Mom just received another of those nice offers from Reader's Digest...contest and all, addressed to my Dad.

Only 13 years after he died, they still are trying to sign him up for the contest of a lifetime.

We did notify the nice folks at RD of my Dad's death, as Dad was always getting mail from them. It stopped for a time. Starts up every now and then.

But 13 years? I guess my Dad didn't realize that not only was his name written in the "Lamb's book of life", the Condensed version is being kept by Reader's Digest.

Revelation 21: 22-27 (NIV) I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
