Much to Learn, I Still Have...

I've learned so much from a man that I've known for so short of a time. Art Coats was the grandfather that I wish I had: godly. I remember what he said when we first had dinner as Kampus Kids. He said that he had never had a sickness that was so bad in all his years in the ministry... "So I questioned God..." I remember those words exactly. When I found out of his passing just a week before our Spring Break, my heart broke. I couldn't believe that he had passed from this world into a land that is fairer than day. But he didn't die questioning God; I know that for sure. He didn't end his testimony of God's working in his life like that. I remember him saying that trusted God with his whole being. He had no regrets. He knew he could trust God completely and that God would be good to him; not because he came up with ideas of what God is, but because he searched for God and learned to know God personally and intimately.
