For five years I have heard these men say, "God willing, I will be ordained in June 2023." Today was that day. Even though my emotions got the best of me, I was really overjoyed to witness the ordination of these men.
Being ordained was not part of God's plan for Branden, but learning and growing in faith with these men and their wives (and 2 more from MO) for 4 1/2 years was part of the plan. A deacon is called to use his time and talents to serve. This cross made in Branden's memory exemplifies the beauty of people working and praying together. Someone had some pecan wood, another possessed amazing woodworking skills, another had the means to engrave it, and combined with the prayers of all this amazing work is mine to treasure.
God is good....
