Show :eooenrint Monday Standing there in the quiet of the late afternoon, I thought about God and the faith Russ had had in him. I remembered the prayer I had eavesdropped in on. Russ had prayed that Jake could understand God and heaven. I think Russ' prayer had been answered. Jake didn't attend church every Sunday and he couldn't read the Bible, but I expect he was closer to God than most folks. Part of the reason was probably the fact he had lived in the Ozarks all of his life, but even more important than that was the fact that Russ was in heaven now, resting with God. |
