Daddy and my deceased mother adopted my brother David and I when we were 2 and 1 (respectively). We grew up as preacher's kids, attending church regularly and through wind, sleet, and snow. My dad was a good father. He taught us how to love and respect others. He taught us to care for the poor and needy and to always remember that there is a good day in store for those who love Jesus. One of his favorite quotes of the Bible to me was, "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord". His life has been a true testimony of this fact. He has loved Jesus in everything he has ever done. The other day he told me he hopes that when the "roll is called up yonder", he will be there, and that we will all be there as well. I plan on being there with you, Daddy!!
I want to share some of his photos today.
