Rodney Joe. "Met" him on a debate site... Christianity vs Islam. I was SO impressed by his knowledge and presentation of the Gospel. When he left, there was a void.
Now, there is another void. HE is gone, from here. But, it is his earthly body that is gone.
He has gone home to be with the LORD!! We will be with him again, one day soon.
It was a pleasure to be able to be with them in word (Facebook). And share in his song (received the CD's).
He is now singing PRAISES in heavenly places to the LORD GOD, our SAVIOR.
He is missed, here among his family and friends. Rodney Joe, though is home.
May the LORD bless you and keep you and smile upon you. May the Lord's Peace be upon you. God bless.
