spiritual legacies

My Dad died in Sept 2000, and Mark’s Dad in January 2003. They left this earth to an eternal life with the Heavenly Father. Both of our fathers were Christian leaders, and the joy of their salvation was expressed each day of their lives. I genuinely admire these two men, and thru them, I learned so much about right and wrong, about truth and faith, and about love and peace. In their Christian walks, these two Dads affected the lives not only of their families, but of untold hundreds of others. The heartfelt influence of their lives and their testimonies will continue to have an effect upon each of their families and friends and whomever crossed their paths.

Mark and I were both truly blessed to be raised in Christian homes.

As you know, like a father with his own children, we encouraged, comforted, and implored each one of you to walk worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
(1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 the Holman Christian Standard Bible)
