“Success is faithfulness” I so needed to hear that. Glory to God for this young man. Praying for his family. Although he was so young what an impact for Christ kingdom

[@eddieparsons]

This was hard to watch but I'm so very grateful to John's friendship to my father and what he meant to his church, community and most importantly his family. We will see you again someday soon!

Praising God for this video now as he has passed on. He is with Jesus... seeing him face to face... where sin and death and disappointment is no more.

[@iamdisciple9233]

"Even when it's hard. Even when you want to give up." Beautiful, indeed.

Great message

I so disagree. The cowboys I know have a great deal of tenderness and caring in their hearts for their stock. They cry over deaths, glory at births and love watching their animals grow and prosper; not just for the $$ they will bring but for the life that animal leads. We cared for our sheep that way also but when we raised sheep (400 all the time) we often drove them from behind......
