Welcome to the Church of Christ

@ Foristell

O' For a Faith that will not Shrink104-year-old, Laura Keeble, the wife of the late Marshall Keeble, stood beside her husband as

he spent his years bringing an estimated 40,000 people to Christ and His church through baptism.

"However busy their days were, the Keebles always knelt and prayed before going to bed - and prayeris still an integral part of Sister Keeble's life. Even when she fell and fractured her back a few years ago,Sister Keeble insisted on thanking God before she sipped a cup of soup.

'She was in such pain...but she said, "Righteous Father, I most humbly thank you for these blessings thatyou've given me.' Cummings [her great-grandaugther] said, her voice choking with emotion.

...Sister Keeble insists on going to worship as long as she can. On a recent Sunday - even though shewas suffering from a nasty cough - Sister Keeble had a relative roll her wheelchair to the nursing homelobby for the worship service. She wore a purple dress and a diamond ring that her husband gave her -a blue, decades-old church hymnal rested on her lap.

About 40 nursing home residents sang "O for a Faith That Will Not Shrink," then men from the churchacross the street prayed and offered communion. As the collection plate approached, Sister Keeblepulled out a $5 bill.

'Nobody's expecting her to give,' Cummings said. But, Sister Keeble saw it differently. 'The Lord is,'she said."
