A comment my grandfather made when I was about 14 years old has remained with me all these years. He said with a finger point up "He is who you put your faith in" then with his finger pointing to the the "church" said "it's not them". Again with his finger pointing up said "he is who died for you" and again pointing to the "church" said "it's not them". He worshipped faithfully his entire life in one "church" but I knew that day that he truly belonged to Christ not to that "church".

Never met either one of my grandfathers. But now, I are one. Hope to have the opportunity to say that (what your granddad said to you) to my grandson when he can understand.

I was blessed to have known them both. Both God fearing men. My paternal grandfather lived to be 93. I was over 30 when he passed. I cherish the influence he had on all his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
