Beautiful testimony cordmaker. May God bring peace and comfort. It is very difficult to say good bye to a special frieendGood morning D! Still raining here in the Berg, but after tomorrow things are looking up. Prayers for all who are hurting
Mr. Ben safe travels to you and Mrs. B
It was a tough weekend for the Cordman, Saturday was a funeral service for a friend of ours and one of my mom's best friends in Princeton Ky.
Yesterday was for my friend and neighbor! It took it's toll on me emotionally, but in the end this was not really a funeral, the was a celebration of life for a great man!!!! I have been to a lot of funerals, but I have never been to one that was such a heart warming event. I am still at a loss for words to describe it! There was not a preacher that spoke, but the children spoke the words that no preacher could have ever spoken about this man!!! Some of his grandchildren from his family had something to say about their grandfather and after they spoke they had a song that they all sung together as a choir, absolutely beautiful!!!! As we made our way thru the line for our final goodbye I told one of his sons I missed my friend already, He told me that he's not gone because I still have 5 pieces of him thru them, his children!
I was told by one of my friends yesterday, she said Cord sometimes we are separated from each other (friends) because of our religion and it shouldn't be that way and she was right! GOD is coming some day and HE is going to take all his children that belong to him!!!
One day Mr. W my neighbor knocked on my door and said Cord I have something for you, so he dug around in his pockets and said, well I don't know what I did with it, I'll be right back. In a few minutes he was back and handed me a beautiful Buck folding pocket knife, I told his son a few days later what he had done and if they wanted it back I would return it, he told me no that his dad gave it to me and it was mime. I found out yesterday that he had given one knife to all his grandchildren and that I was considered one of the family!
So this morning prayers to all, My heart is hurting. Have a great day D-Leaguers!!! GOD IS GREAT!

Missed you by 8 years. I did American Graffiti in Paducah. Nice town to grow up in. One of my family works at an air reduction company on Husband Road.Sorry if I have already discussed this with you, but part my family is from there, they live on Spann Lane off Husband Rd.

Yea I liked Paducah, had a great time. My uncle and I fished every weekend except one a month while I did my NG duty. Caught lots of catfish and crappie during the time I lived there! We may be outlaws and not even know it!Missed you by 8 years. I did American Graffiti in Paducah. Nice town to grow up in. One of my family works at an air reduction company on Husband Road.
