A Biker Dies
Tonight, while attending a parade, that my grand-daughter was marching in, I received a call on my cell phone. It was a friend who was calling to notify me of a Biker friend I rode with years ago. He died last night and his wife wants me to preach his funeral Tuesday at 11 am. This will be a tough one for me. We have been friends for probably 50 years. We rode together, drank together, etc. To my knowledge, he was not a saved man. He drank heavily, and never darkened the door of a church or had any church affiliation at all, to my knowledge. I am by no means judging him, I am just stating what I know of his life. I am to call his wife tomorrow afternoon for any details. I don't know the cause of death or what happened until I talk to his wife.
I will preach salvation to those who attend. This is what I have been called to do and to be there and show love and compassion to people. I have strove to be a blessing ever since I was saved and moreso since I have been preaching now for 35 years. For Jim, his destiny in Eternity is up to God. I will do my best to bring comfort to this large family and circle of friends that he had.
This is tough for me, loosing 2 friends within a weeks time.
