• The loss of a good friend (my grandfather)

   I am already experiencing a heavy week. My grandfather Billy passed last night (Sunday night). I have a lot of good memories of him and am very grateful to the Lord for his life as he a Christian was a devoted family man and true gentleman often to the point of sacrificing of his own time and possessions and was very physically active until he turned 80. One memory was Sunday lunch as a child when he would take one or two of my grandmother's homemade biscuits, put a delicious butter-syrup (King's Syrup) mixture on it, and give it to his grandchildren (my sister, my 2 cousins, and I) as a special after-dinner treat. Then of course, there was the time he let me drive his truck around the block when I was 12, and I accidentally took out the neighbor's mailbox.
