Today, I got the pleasure of hearing Bill Laxton preach. It feels like so long ago that I took his preaching for granted. I enjoyed going to church every Sunday hearing HIS precious words echo through Bill in such a calm and gentle spirit.
Well, it has been over a year since I have heard Bill preach and today was like welcoming back a dear friend and precious follower of CHRIST.
Bill brings the word sweet and to the point without a lot of "fluff" but instead he tells it like it is and that is so refreshing. Bill is such an incredibly transparent , understanding , kind human being. I am honored to say that, Bill Laxton, is not only an awesome preacher/teacher but he is an even better friend.
As some of you know he suffers with Parkinson's Disease. He does his best not allowing this to stop him but some days it is very difficult especially the shaking in his left hand. On July 29, 2008, Bill will be undergoing brain surgery in Columbia to hopefully help some of the symptoms of Parkinson's.
I ask you to pray for Bill , Dianne and their family as they lead up to these days and afterwards I ask that you pray for healing and complete recovery.
Thank you Bill for allowing me to worship with you this morning.
