Bob, a friend of Jerry’s, went to be with the Lord a few years ago. When Jerry and Bob first met at a conference where Bob was speaking, Bob, in his forties, was only about ten years Jerry’s senior. Even so, Bob was someone who already had a great deal of life under his belt and a godly faith Jerry had never seen before. It caught Jerry’s attention and now has mine. For Bob’s story is one that testifies to the startling faithfulness of God as our provider and as our Father.
