When did Jimmy Carr not make me smile or laugh? I was blessed to know him at Living Word Church in Nashville during the mid-1990´s. Our pastor was Ray Hughes. To this day, our times of worshipping the Lord Jesus and learning about love went far beyond a Sunday service. How many hours we spent with others sitting on the steps all hours of the day or nights talking about Jesus. He´s celebrating now. I´m in shock, his last text to me was Jan 6th.... I can´t get my arms around all that Jimmy was to me, but truly, one of God´s "good´uns" has made it home. Perhaps I´ll write again when the shock wears off. In the meantime, I know some other folks who don´t yet know. I´ll pass along the sad but Good News.
