Thought....

Maybe I have blogged about this before...maybe not...but 8 years ago yesterday we lost our sweet Pastor in a car accident and had to watch his family adjust to life as it would be from then on...yesterday at church the pastor said something that made me think, "How appropriate for today, Lord."

He said, "Jesus got hit by the truck to we would only get hit by the shadow."  I don't know what it was about the statement but it got me thinking about our sweet pastor and all he did for his family and church and everyone that was left behind.

So here are some of Ricky Earl's most memorable and true quotes:

"If we knew what God knows, we would always want what God wants."

"Not I but Christ"


The list could go on all day but those are the big ones.  He was a man like I will probably never know again.

Little too reflective perhaps for a Monday but, eh, it was on my mind.....this is from Ruth Graham's memorial but it was the very best version of this song.  This is is how our pastor lived his amazing life!  Also the video of the Graham's is pretty stinking amazing!
