“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is a laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love is appearing.” 2 Timothy 4: 7-8

My Last Request

Please don’t say that I gave up; I just gave in. Don’t say I lost the battle, for it was God’s war to lose or win. Please don’t say how good I was, but that I did my best. Just say, I tried to do what's right, to give the most I could, not less. I want no more than I deserve, no extras, just my due.

“A SERVICE ABOVE SELF”

Please remember to keep the Gordon family lifted in prayer.
