Week 4: Distinguishing Marks
An upright man can stand tall no matter his height.
Psalm 37: 37
Daddy only stood 5’ 8” tall yet no matter where we went he seemed to be able to meet anyone as a friend. People gravitated to him though there was nothing outwardly remarkable about him. We still wonder how he struck up some of the conversations he did.
The most notable took place at the airport in Washington D. C. Daddy was waiting for my brother Dennis to get off his flight. When Dennis finally found Daddy he was standing in the middle of Robert Parrish (7’1”), Kevin McHale (6’10”), and Danny Ainge (6’5”), members of the Boston Celtics coming through the airport on their way to the Rose garden to pick up their championship rings from the President. We asked Daddy how he ended up talking to them and all he could say was, “I don’t know but they were nice young men.”
Are you easy to be around? When the lives of others storm out of control, are you an eye of calm? Are you a person of peace?
