   I met Charles for the first time at our men's Bible study at Sevier Heights Baptist Church about 2  1/2 years ago. Charles and I had an instant bond! It must have been his contagious smile? 
    Charles had gone to church most of his life, but he still felt an emptiness inside of himself, and he was searching for the answer who, where, how, plus he had a curiosity about the Bible, which was refreshing.
   About a year later Charles's search was over. One of the guys in our group had a serious talk with him, and Charles realized he had been very religious, but he had never personally received Christ into his heart. That day, he finally did! His life search was over; he was never the same after that. His smile got bigger and his joy became contagious too! Free, free, free at last! 
   Charles began to grow Spiritually and his testimony was so refreshing! Then about a year later he had some serious physical issues that started to show-up; it was cancer! In the days ahead as he faced the prospects, he still maintained his testimony, and he had confidence that his faith was sure and because of Jesus Christ, his destination for heaven was secure. 
   When I learned of  Charles's passing, I was grief stricken, but not like those who have no hope, because I knew without a shadow of doubt, that Charles had made it home, safe in the arm's of Jesus Christ, and for that, I rejoiced! 
   Hey, you think Charles smiled down here, you should see Him now. He's leaping for joy, laughing and praising God!! I'm sure of it! I can't wait to see him again! 
   In closing, Revelation 21: 4 says; "He, Jesus, will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." In Christ Charles was made new; new for ever more. Yes and Amen!
   

I met Charles in a Bible study through church.  I loved his genuine heart.


The first time I met Charles was when he and Marlin visited our Sunday School class.   We became close friends during the coming weeks.  I remember the day like it was yesterday when he accepted Jesus as his LORD and SAVOR.  From that day forward  I can definitely say that he was a changed man.  I will never forget that day and will always remember the beautiful smile he had on his face when I came to visit him.   Charles was a great friend and my brother in Christ.  He will always be in my thoughts until I see him again in heaven.
