Q7: When we sang, Gordon frequently pointed to his heart to encourage us to exhibit passion and real communication of the message (by instinct, I have found myself over the years pointing to my heart for the same reason when leading various groups; "Everything rises and falls on leadership"; I was encouraged in class by Gordon's many references to Henrietta Mears, a woman who made an important spiritual impact during her lifetime.

Q8: My life has been affected by the many opportunities of service that Gordon allowed a young kid from Georgia to experience.

While Gordon always stressed doing things well in ministry, he also was one who applied the verse "be ready in season and out"...you never knew when he might point to you and mouth the words, "You sing this verse" while the song was already in progress!

A summer serving in a church in California, working in a youth camp in PA, traveling on buses to Pittsburg for school rallies and traveling with the LBC Choral "back in the day"...these are just some of the experiences at LBC now LU that helped shape, season and prepare me for the past 30+ years. My thanks to Gordon and Dottie for their patience, care and training of so many of us.

Q9: Too many to name...and He's still at it!
