Thank you, Daddy
By GARY TOOLE
Thank you, daddy, for above all, doing for me the greatest thing any father could do and that is to instill in me a great love for the church and to give me one of the greatest Christian heritages anyone could be proud of and thankful for.

And daddy, that love and that heritage will live on forever and forever and that torch you have laid down will never quench and will be carried by your descendants for years to come. Yes, thank you, daddy!

Folks, this Christian statesman was a veteran in the Lord's army and at age 86 it was still like a fireshut up, burning in his bones that he could not contain and as he told the ministerial board at a young age, "I know I am called, because I can feel it from the top of my head to the soles of my feet."

He had a love for God that started when he was fiveyears old and he and his older sister would walk (yes, walk) and run for miles and miles to church at an old rundown blacksmith shop. That uneducated, yet anointed spirit-filled Sunday School teacher with only a little Sunday School card taught him and acquainted him with Jesus and my father fell in love with the Lord, and he has passed that love down to his family and it has spread abroad.

So yes, thank you, daddy. Your work shall not be in vain.

He went to be with the Lord May 6, 2007, at 6:35 p.m. I know that my daddy, Reverend John Paul Toole, is in Heaven and I will say amen!
