Billy

I went to Seffner yesterday to pick up my medications and I guess the sight of my neck collar was a little upsetting to some of my co-workers. I have had it on a week now and am getting used to it, but had forgotten about those who haven't seen me in awhile. Then I realized that I must have looked a lot like my brother-in-law Billy. He had a neck problem and could only move his head about as much as I can now, so I even though its been several decades, I can finally relate a bit more to his situation. This picture was taken the year he was killed by a drunk driver and is the last one we have of him. He wasn't super-smart, didn't have many skills and in general was just an ordinary guy. But, I will always remember him most because he personified the following verse of Scripture more than anyone else I have ever met.

Mic 6:8
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? WEB

To have only lived 21 years and to be remembered this way is quite an accomplishment. And, OH, yes, he adored my girls as well.
