Five years ago today, I met Cindy for the first time at lunch at a local restaurant. A co-worker was at the bar on July 31, 2002 – viewing the extremely humble beginnings of a loving relationship from afar. I’d spot this co-worker on our way out of the restaurant.

Charleston and Bob Evans
Some people representing parts of Cindy’s past are joining her in Heaven this week. As noted earlier, Cindy called Charleston, South Carolina, home for a couple of years.

No Fooling About The First Of April
Thank you all for your continued prayers and notes of condolence following my wife’s death. During RockTrax, I heard from someone who attended Cindy’s funeral. I know him and only saw him for a split second as I was leaving the sanctuary. Speaking of RockTrax, I’m taking April 1st off – two weeks from today. …
Tomorrow Is Not Promised
That’s a lesson I’ve learned the hard way since Cindy died. That lesson has been repeated just recently. Prayers are requested for the family of Rebecca “Beth†Harrison, who was on this earth for only 15 years. If you live here in the Pine Belt and don’t know the name, odds are good you’ve seen …
