Karen Akins Goslaw celebrated every Easter Sunday with the greeting that was her joyful praise, “He is Risen”! On this Easter Sunday of 2024 we join that eternal chorus with her for indeed, he is risen. I must confess to only catching a glimpse of what was in her heart. Karen lived with the belief that, based on her certainty of the empty grave, that we can live toward others with a sense of irrational optimism.
Karen was a people
person, believing the best of everyone and leaving the rest for further study as
in the application of God’s grace. One has to be a little crazy to live with that trusting spirit toward people since our world, over the last 28 years, has
gotten even darker. Regardless, Karen showed us all that it can and should only be routine because Jesus rose from the grave!
