He has a concern for training the next generation, not just leaving a legacy. He has a great sense of humor and has a love for guns and hunting.

I was sitting with my DOM and his wife. After the service they said "He is not at all like we have been led to believe - he is so gracious and unassuming." <BR/>Dr. Gray Allison of Mid-America used to say "Many people are down on what they are not up on."

He stayed after the service to counsel us on where to go to school. I will never forget his kindness and graciousness that he extended to us. When he prayed with us, it was clear that he was more concerned about God's will for our lives than Ron Phillips, Sr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15891614423106717280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643342666676162215.post-88570706420375187982008-02-17T21:33:00.000-06:002008-02-17T21:33:00.000-06:00wonderful post and great comments.

I sat under his teaching in one semester of Systematic Theology. I noticed those that would get close to him for the sole purpose of advancing their own kingdom. I loathed it then and I loathe it today.
