Two years ago today our friend, leader and hero when home to be with Jesus. We have missed his presence and his pristine leadership in many ways. Bishop Penny knew how to make everyone feel special with his smile, laugh, handshake and kindness. Last night, I was reminded of him when I shared about the spirit of craftsmanship. Truly, he was a man of polish!
For those reading this who never had the opportunity to meet Bishop Penny...well, you can still feel his presence in the DNA of our church. Along, with Sister Penny, Bishop served with excellence for 11 years at BFWC teaching, preaching, leading, and so much more!
He was infamous for his AMENS and the phrase, "we're going on!" He left us too soon and we miss him dearly. When I reflect on his life, I see a man of integrity, character, discipline and diligence. A true elder statesman, a great preacher and a fantastic man! His example makes me want to be a better Christian, husband, father, pastor and friend.
Let's take a moment today to reflect on Bishop Penny's contributions and rejoice that we are a better church with a richer heritage because of him.
