Thanks for the responses and sorry for not acknowledging them sooner. I was doing some e-commerce research for work (*grimace*) and got distracted.

It was a wonderful letter from a son who was able to clearly describe who his “Dad” was in every day life.
As I said, the snake handling thing mystifies me but, that said, Pastor Fields sounds like someone I wouldn’t mind having as a neighbor.

I particularly liked the son’s closing statement:

Yes, I know the Bible teaches that our grace is not by works lest any man should boast. But it also teaches that faith without works is dead. Some profess faith without works. Like the apostle Paul, my dad showed me his faith by his works.

As the saying goes, “if you have to tell me you’re a Christian, you aren’t. Show me, instead.”

For me substitute “human” for “Christian”…
