As I shared on Christmas Eve, my friend and mentor Bill Britton passed away at age 79. He Jesus moved into my neighborhood through the Britton family, and I will be eternally grateful. Everytime I share my testimony of how I received Jesus into my life, I talk about how God used Bill to reach me. You can listen to this story from my first message in UP-N-OUT, Can I take your order? I hope you will take time to listen. I hope I leave a legacy like Bill Britton.
I will miss you friend. Until we meet again in heaven.
Todd
