Yesterday we celebrated 120 yrs as a local church known as Dyess Grove Baptist Church! I was tasked with creating a PowerPoint slideshow made from the numerous old pictures! What a task, but an awesome one! I saw many faces that prayed and served the Lord. Most of the black & white picture people are long gone. They are resting at the feet of Jesus. Many dear saints are still serving like O.J. & Betty Ward, June Hogan, Rev. Raymond Tharp (86), Rev Steve Taylor, and Rev Jimmy Hinton (94). The main message yesterday was delivered by Jimmy Hinton. Why does he keep going with faith, hope, and love? Why does he keep going even when a tragic bus accident in 2003 took his wife of over 60+ years? It is very simple, "Because He Lives!" I can be inspired by a man like that, can't you? Jimmy is a man of the past but looks daily to the future! "Because He Lives I can face tomorrow! Because He Lives ALL fear is gone!" Hope wins the day!
