Dave's Humility

We are so sorry to hear of Dave's passing away but almost immediately the hymn came to mind One day the silver cord will break And I no more as now shall sing But O the joy when I awake Within the palace of the King And I shall see Him face to face And tell the story saved by grace And I shall see Him face to face And tell the story saved by grace Dave is now in the palace of the King! And he is seeing face to face the One Whom he loved and served so faithfully. We heard Dave speak on many occasions beginning in 1992 and including two of the conferences in Bend. One, though, that stands out was at Schroon Lake in 2000 where Dave answered questions one afternoon in the lobby of the main building. It was almost like being with Jesus on the road to Emmaus as he opened the scriptures to us. We could have listened all night. We asked him once why don't they ever allow you enough time during any of the conferences at which you speak. He said we are spoiled here. In Russia the Christians will stand for hours to hear the Word of God preached. Always with such humility yet authority he taught the Word and answered questions. What a loss to us below, but praise God his job is done and he's with our Savior.
