I want to take a moment and thank so many of you for praying for my father this past week. He now is in the presence of the Lord he served with such dedication his entire life. It does seem appropriate that he was called home after his brave battle with COVID on a Sunday after 52+ years of service as a pastor.
Let me add that he considered himself an adopted Liberty fan. When his alma mater Tennessee Temple went aay he considered Liberty the modern extension of Dr. Roberson's vision. So he and I would talk Flames football and basketball on a regular basis. He was enthusiastic about the prospects of Malik and the Flames for this upcoming season.
The final conncection is that his dad passed away in Lynchburg in a few years ago. My grandfather was a longtime personal friend of Dr. Falwell & Dr. Towns. He brother remains an LU Online prof after serving on campus for years.
