My DAD      The last thing my dad said to me before he died was in a conversation about him being 84 and in poor health and how he was sitting at the bottom of the steps coming down from the second story of his house and he couldn't breathe well. He was out of breath.      I told him I didn't know how to pray for him because he had lived his whole life for this impending moment of death and the excitement of finding the reality of Christ and yet he loved those around him.      He could truly say with the apostle Paul, "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain."      As we talked he said he had to go rest because he was tired.      Then he said this to me in regards to our on going conversation about the future and life---- "God is sovereign and I'm ok with that, I love you son."      My dad was a good thinker. We didn't always see eye to eye but very few people could think outside the box like he could.....David
