keeping in thoughts and prayers PHIL TANIS who i knew very briefly from his family in bellflower and attendance at bethany CRC ...his brother Jim went to Calvin..i knew him a little better than Phil...and now Phil is working for this organization (world communion of reformed churches, wcrc, also see http://new.wcrc.eu.server3.reformiert-info.de/ ) ...my impression of Phil was that he is a VERY SERIOUS person..which is good in many regards, but sometimes comes off as "more important" than others around him..; so we all have things to work on, and need grace to grow in Christ and become a better "aroma" for the Good News...; let us pray for Phil to continue to grow and show genuine love and affection for those around him.. email thoughts, prayers, & encouragement to Phil at
