I've still got it. It is a tangible reminder of Clarence Jordan's trust, of his encouragement, of his indomitable vision, of his fathomless faith, of his contagious Christian experience, and of his profound commitment to be a doer of the word. I think Clarence Jordan was the finest Christian I have ever known. The lessons of a lifetime are wrapped up in this signed blank check which I'm holding in my left hand as I write this with my right hand. At the risk of being maudlin, I mention a few.
Faith is victorious even if it is dynamited.
Courage is contagious even if cowardice is endemic. Compassion is communicable even if it gets turned out of the church or crucified. Friendship is forever even after the grass grows over the red clay mound. Giving is better than getting even if the check had been cashed. Your comments and inquiries are always welcome.
