Paul's Story

God spent decades on my dad. When asked why he needed Jesus, he simply responded that he was going the wrong way. God was patient with him. He was going after his soul and he was saved not by anything he said or did, but by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. He died without any fear and is now standing in the presence of the one true God. We will all have to stand before God & give an account for our lives. Thanks to the victory of Jesus through the cross, my dad's sins were forgiven & I will see him again in paradise. Amen! In January 2011 Paul was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. Unfortunately on 3/9/2011 an MRI scan showed that the tumor has spread to his brain and is at stage 4 which is incurable. Paul passed away on April 21, 2011. This blog was meant to keep people updated and informed. The family appreciates all the prayers and support.

Poem Found in Paul's Safety Deposit Box and Burial Location

First off we would like to thank everyone who has helped us out. We encourage you to check out the last few blog posts to see the journey we have been on. Please continue to pray for Karen, as it is hard to lose someone you have been married to for over 36 years.

Second, the location of where Paul buried is across the street of the Monticello Methodist Church at 23860 W 75th St Shawnee, KS 66227.

Here is a poem we just found that Paul put in the safety deposit box. I do not think he knew how much it would reflect his life.

I may have lived longer
I may have lived longer had I done more to stay alive
Eat my vegetables
Limit my intake of bad stuff
Exercise more regularly
Breathe only clean air
Drink only pure water
Shake hands of only the healthy
Reduce my stress level
Avoid bad neighborhoods at night
Not be a missionary
'but, God has appointed man to die and then the judgement...'
'I don't live to live long but to live forever, so...'
Become a Christian
Tell many about Jesus
Pray for God's direction in life
Serve well
Obey all God has asked in his word
Number the days this short life
Die ready to face judgment.

    I was surprised to see this poem online and then read about Paul...so glad he is in the arms of His maker - feeling no more pain...at rest and at peace.

    My mother died April 21, 2004 of cancer - exactly seven years after Paul. It still hurts - but through time, it has gotten better.

    My prayers are with you and your family -
