Facebook has a way of refreshing someone’s memory. This was eleven years ago. You were on our back porch. It was Father’s Day. Oh, how you loved all the celebrating. Not for yourself of course, but with us. Any opportunity to celebrate with all of us is what you loved.

All 4 pounds and 5 ounces came into this world on June 3. It was 26 years ago. I held on to him with everything I had. He wasn’t much bigger than the palm of my hand. He is how I learned God gives immeasurably more than I could ever hope or imagine.

What if the sound of silence is God raising His voice?

This Bible has been by my side for over half my life.

For years, that is literally all it was.

By my side.
