Thursday I attended a funeral for a man who was full of love and grace. \u00a0I never knew him when he was a preacher but as I sat there listening to the CV of his life I found myself wanting to hear instead the story of how he became full of the love and grace of the living Lord. \u00a0I wanted to hear the stories of the lives that were changed through this man’s relationship with Jesus.<\/p>\n
