In memory of my amazing, brilliant mom

In memory of my mother, Judith Louise Anson Robinson, who passed away January 5, 1993. She was an artist (see paintings here), piano teacher, poet, gardener, inveterate reader, businesswoman, genealogist, compassionate Christian, and homemaker, but best of all, MOM.

Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me and everything will be all right."

Everyone was crying and carrying on over her. Jesus said, "Don't cry. She didn't die; she's sleeping." They laughed at him. They knew she was dead.

Then Jesus, gripping her hand, called, "My dear child, get up." She was up in an instant, up and breathing again! Luke 8:50-54 MSG

The New Testament was written in everyday Greek, known as "Koine." The word for "spirit," "air," and "breath" was pneuma. My mother's lifelong, chronic illness began with severe asthma, which developed into emphysema before she was a teenager. All her life, she struggled for breath. She has the breath of eternal life now.
"She was up in an instant, up and breathing again!"
