A Labor Shortage

Funeral sermon for Michael Ellis, avid golfer and new believer. God has done definite things in Michael’s life, has provided a definite plan of salvation, and has given the definite gift of eternal life.

I know almost nothing about the game of golf. I do know that Michael Ellis was an avid golfer. Even there in the hospice it seemed to comfort him to watch golf on television.

Culture Shifts:the 'progressive' Generation

Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Jan 21, 2002
