Kami and Dad and their special bond

March 23, 2023
Kami was very special to Dad.  The two of them together were a force of nature to be reckoned with.  It is very appropriate they are together now in heaven, most likely creating, building, planning and plowing together.
I have vivid memories of the two of them  loving every minute of learning how to Homestead in Greeley Hill.  Kami (only in middle school) was by Dad's side every minute milking cows, riding horses; felling trees with a chain saw; and using a massive rotitiller to prepare a massive plot of land for a garden.  The two of them accomplished more in our 2 1/2 years (with Joey's help, too) there than most do in their lives.  Thankful they both showed me how to use your energy and work ethic for good!  I miss you both very much today!

A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART

March 25, 2015

Pastor Ed built a christian school in Wichita Ks as our Construction Mgr for $100,000 less than our lowest bid. Upon completion, his own daughter [ Kami ] pioneered the school. That school was DEDICATED to Kami the year she passed away. That dedication was memorialized in our yearbook. That school originally was called Word of Life Traditional School, and this past year changed to LIFE PREP. The school has students attending from 23 countries as INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. The school, which was Kami's vision and Pastor Ed's creation has won more than 300 souls to Christ. In addition Ed and his beautiful wife Marie personally gave 2 vehicles to me over the years. These were late model cars. The gifts were shocking. When i looked into WHY they did this for us, i learned that they have been gigantic givers their whole marriage and that ministries and churches and orphans and others all over the world have been recipients of this generosity. I have told this story MANY times and used Ed and Marie as examples of GIVING in the training of many ministers. Its one thing when wealthy people give; its another thing when regular folk outgive all the wealthy people i know. Pastor Ed was kind, submissive and had a HEART OF GOLD. His legacy lives on in Wichita Ks. and literally around the world.
