Tom Boker

I went to a funeral yesterday for one of my Dad's really good friends-Tom Boker. If you have ever visited Memorial Road you were probably greeted by him. He was a Deacon there and there was about 500 people at the service. It was a great funeral with a lot of singing and celebration of his life. He was touted as the unofficial ambassador of Memorial Road. It was an inspiring time as I listened to stories of how he would keep a box of bibles in his trunk and give them to people he met. It also made me realize how much I love my own grandparents and that I don't spend enough time with them as it is. After great celebrations like that, I am reminded of the hope we have as Christians in a new life with Christ-here on this earth and in heaven. A hope that no other religion can offer.
