It's really late and I am emotionally and physically beat. But I wanted to share a few initial thoughts regarding dad's service last night and today. I will share more tomorrow.
The visitation went well Thursday evening. I hate that the weather was so bad in Ohio. I know that others wanted to come but just couldn't due to the bad road conditions. Nevertheless, I so appreciated your prayers.
We had two people share some memories and thoughts about dad on the half hour during the visitation beginning at 6:30 pm. I had never seen it done before, but I thought it worked out pretty well. We done this because we had so many that wanted to share something that we couldn't possibly work it all into the Friday service. It was really neat hearing from some of the youth that I had grown up with at the Greenfield Church of God. I appreciate their humorous stories, kind and comforting words.
Dad's life touched many lives. Not just as a pastor, but the 17 years he served as a lay person working at the kroger plant in Indy. This was pretty evident by the testimonies and the outpouring of love shown the last few days.
This week we have received emails, cards, and phone calls from so many people all over the country. It has been very touching!
I love you all. I will share plenty more tomorrow.
-Pastor Randy
