In Memory of Kate 1/5/00-2/5/11

As you have probably heard, Katie is now at rest in the hollow of His hand. We are very thankful that the end of her life was so peaceful and that God gave us the time to prepare our hearts, to talk with each other and to comfort her. She bore much pain and God used that to soften our hearts. He was glorified in her weakness. We thank all of you for your love & commitment to us throughout her life and that we never had to be alone.

Love, The John Hicks Family

Katie Rose Hicks by Sarah Robison (sister) in 2004


I used to think I needed to go to the "ends of the earth" looking for the hungry that need meat, the thirsty who need drink, the strangers who need taken in, and naked who need clothing. However, I have come to realize they are in my own household…  Click on the title of this story to read the rest.

In The Hollow of His Hand


In the hollow of His hand
I am safely sheltered
And I’m dreading not the angry winds that blow
For the eye that watches over me
Shall never slumber and He guides my footsteps everywhere I go

In the hollow of His hand
In the hollow of His hand
He keeps me in the hollow of His hand

In the hollow of His hand
What a peaceful refuge
Where the weary heavy laden may find sweet, sweet rest
In the secret place I know
My troubles are forgotten
As a child when folded to his mother’s breast

In the hollow of His hand
I’ll remain forever
No power can pluck me from my Father’s hand
Though I fall asleep in Him
I know that He’ll awaken me
Just inside of Heaven’s golden borderland

In the hollow of his hand
In the hollow of His hand
I’m not to fear on ocean or on land
For wherever I may roam,
He will guide me safely home
And He keeps me in the hollow of His hand
