Titus 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Eph. 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
I first met Frank in Georgia in the early 90´s. One visit in their home, I think in 1993, I remember how easy it was to visit about spiritual things and Frank playing the guitar and singing with a great big smile of happiness on his face.
Of course, seeing him again in TN in recent years has been special too. He valued eternal things and encouraged the same in others.
Frank was mechanical, a good handyman. After he sold his truck, he used his lawnmower or golf cart for transportation to visit local family.
