One of the things that I
have been keenly aware of throughout my life is the way God has richly blessed
me by the people He has placed in my path.
As a matter of fact, most of God’s blessings throughout my life have
come with a person attached; someone who has allowed themselves to be used by
God to enrich and strengthen my life. My
wife, my family, dear friends, teachers, coaches, co-workers, and even my
critics have all been instrumental in shaping my life in so many positive
ways. I love the way God will often put
just the right person, in just the right place, at just the right time to be a
conduit of His great love and support. It
was Solomon who wrote, “as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens
another.” (Prov. 27:17)

I learned quickly that
positive change does not take luck. It
takes a vision from the Holy Spirit; the courage to move forward with that
vision; and good people to back you up.
Randy was certainly one of those good people that God placed in my path
to assist in the many things that He had in store for us here at Old Fort. Over the years I realized that Randy truly
loves the Lord and has a great desire to serve God with his whole life. He has
consistently proven himself as a friend that can be trusted and a fellow
laborer that can get the job done. I
thank God for him as both a friend and a partner in the ministry.
Thirty years of ministry
in one place is a testimony of faithfulness in and of itself. Think for a moment of all the many lives that
have been touched in both large and small ways.
Only heaven can record the results of a ministry like this. Thank you Randy. We are all so very grateful for you and proud
of the good work you do.
Philippians 1:3-5
