He was a fun, yet no non sense kind of guy. He became my mentor, father figure and a true Godly figure in the life of me and my family. There is a word that is used from the King James, its called.. "ensamples". It means indention.. or branded.
Elmer branded me. he challenged me not to "adjust" to culture, but rather lead it. I learned to be me and not a fake.
I just found out a couple of days ago that Elmer has cancer. He lost his son in a car accident three years ago. He has been through a lot. Yet, because he is not just a talker, but a doer, he continues to brand my life and others with straight forward encouraging talk.
Man, i hope I am just a quarter of the man he is some day.
He never branded me or others with stink'n religion. He always branded us with unveiled truth.
They have not given him much longer to live, but he will live for ever. He has branded my life.
I'm going to return to that small town to see him in a few days... what will i see? The brand that he is leaving. And if God does not wipe the cancer away and lets Elmer come home.. The Angels in heaven bess get ready to get branded by the new angel in town.

naturally like your web site but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the reality then again I'll certainly come back again.

I have been surfing online more than three hours these days, yet I by
no means found any interesting article like yours.
It's beautiful worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the web will probably be much more helpful than ever before.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know
a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not
sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.
