Destiny By all accounts, we are living in a trying time. Our economy has all but collapsed. Our faith in a world that is free and strong has faded to black. And our ability to recover from this situation is in serious question.... then we dig deeper.

Jen's grandfather died last night around 9PM. He was a tall, skinny man. He was in his 70s, and wore his age well. He spent most of his time tending to his church and preaching at the local prison, and making sure that people heard the Word of God. He had quite a few children, I think 8 total. He ran his own business for over 40 years and provided quite well for his family. By all accounts, we are living in a trying time. With our economy, faith, and future in question... the world lost a good man last night. A man who earned his right as the patriarch of Jen's family. He left behind a legacy for all to see: husband, father, grandfather, business owner, and pastor; each of which carries its own.

Let us not live by our deeds though, but by the memories that we leave in the hearts of those we have touched.

I didn't know you well Roger, but I do know your children, and their children, and if they are any indication of the man that you were... then you sir have made your mark.
