Two Men


One man is praying for life and another man is willing to give part of his.

The two men have been friends for all of their (almost) 50 years of life. Their grandpa’s were friends, pals……… partners. Jake Baird and Charlie Fancher, if they were together, the boys were together. Now years later, who would of ever believed that we would be where we are today. One man’s grandson is dying of hepatitis C that he got from a blood transfusion when he was hurt riding bulls, the other man’s grandson is willing to offer his life to help.

Clay in Alaska, Todd in Idaho, miles apart but now, closer than ever; closer now because Clay has recently accepted Christ as his personal savior, now the friends are brothers…………..sons of the sovereign King, whose timing is perfect. God knew this day would come before either was conceived.

I am in awe of my Lord, just thinking of how even before time began this was God’s plan for each of these men. This brings me comfort now and I will cling to it for the rest of my days. Just as God has planned these days and how Todd and Clay will be a part of each other’s lives forever. I spend almost every minute of everyday praising God for the days he has given me with Todd, I try so hard to understand his will when I know that His ways are higher than mine,

He planned that Todd and I would meet almost 31 years ago. That I would accept Christ as a little girl in a small town in east Idaho and my husband and I would meet at college in Twin Falls Idaho, My husband accepted the Lord as his savior shortly before we were married. We were so young and in love and through the years and lots of trials we have grown together in our walks and we have seen the hand of God working in our lives and in the lives of our precious daughters. I am so thankful that Todd loves the Lord with all his heart, soul and mind. He is not ashamed of God, not even for a minute.
 I am so proud of Todd and I praise God for my him everyday…………..of this everyday life.

Ummmm... yeah - yet another occasion where I'm sobbing and Ben Melton is staring at me like I'm a big cry baby. Didn't know all that... this has blessed my heart, mama. I love you forever.
