God is so good. The service for Paul on Tuesday was truly a celebration of his life. Each and every person that was a part of the service shared how Paul had impacted their life and the lives of those around him. With estimates of 1,000 attending the service around 500 were policemen, firemen and sheriff departments . They lined the hall ways of the church as the family entered and left. As we drove to the gravesite every street was blocked off for the 20 miles with police, etc standing outside their cars saluting as the hearse passed. They did the same at the graveside along with bagpipes and a 21 gun salute. So many people came up to the family later telling story after story of how Paul had reached out in their time of need and ministered to them. We continue to get cards, letters, phone calls and emails from people we don't even know telling us stories of Paul. David's part in the service...he shared family memories and then shared the Gospel. His sharing has opened doors for the family to boldly share Jesus with so many.
David and I left immediately after the service and drove to Tupelo,MS. Missionary Orientation Training for five new couples started on Monday and we were able to teach all our sessions on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We returned to KY on Friday night. Thank you for all your prayers.
