"Today, I'm remembering one who was always a farmer at heart. Who loved his dogs and his cat. Who followed the weather patterns almost as closely as he did world events.

Who was interested in everything and everyone, from the small to the great. Whose mind remembered details that even a computer would have trouble recalling." -Anne Graham Lotz

Simple faith. Faith that now matters more than anything else... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
