One Year Ago...

One year ago today my hero, Rev. Robert Penny Sr., went home to be with Jesus.  I have missed my friend in many ways:  his wisdom, his smile, his laugh, his friendship, his presence, his preaching, his ministerial etiquette, his amens, his craftsmanship, etc.

BFWC continues forward today with a special piece of Bishop Penny in it's DNA.  A local church often thinks of it's past, present and future.  I'm happy that we had nearly 11 years together in Kingdom work.

Perhaps we can imagine Bishop Penny leaning over the balcony of Heaven today - cheering us on! 

Let's take a moment today to reflect on Bishop Penny's contributions and rejoice that we are a better church wth a richer heritage because of him.

Our thoughts, prayers and affection continue with Sister Penny and the entire family.

Love,
