Roger

I met Roger in 1991?  I was assigned to the Princeton UMC.  Does anyone from Princeton still read this blog?  I am not sure.

Anyway, for me, Roger was a great friend at first sight.  Roger has a great sense of humor, a great work ethic, and a recognizable voice.  We hung out all the time in Princeton.  After I moved away, we saw each other from time to time [like my Delorean]  but after a bit, we lost touch. 

Then when Scott was injured 3 years ago, Roger and his wife Kathy, saw the post on my blog or Facebook.  

I will never forget, I was sitting on the back porch watching TV about 8pm and I got a call from a number that I did not recognize.  I answered the call.  There was that recognizable voice.  My heart was immediately happy.

Do you have people in your life that make you immediately happy to hear from???  I hope so!!!

Anyway, Roger, it turns out was working just north of Jacksonville, Fl.  A few weeks later, I drove up to see him.  We had a wonderful visit.

After not seeing each other for years,  one of the things that he said to me on that visit was this... "my life is better with Jeff Brinkman in it."  Wow did that make me feel great.  I would say the same about him.

Roger is coming to visit in a few weeks.  I cannot wait.  

I thank God for the people who make our lives better.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
