Last evening I learned that the person I was named after wasn’t doing very well. In fact, he won’t survive without a miracle that can reverse old age. As explained to me, this is a man who would eat cornbread so you could have a steak.
I’ve always tried to live up to my last name and that bar was set very high. Now, knowing a little more about my middle namesake reinforces the facts that I have more than 1 name to live up to and to pass on to my children. May they learn to lift up others and shine through them.
To the Mills family in Texas, I lift you up and God bless your family.
