Clay was such a kind man and gifted teacher.
When my mother was at Good Life Assisted Living in Snyder, Texas, the highlight of her week were Clay's Bible studies. I'll be forever grateful to him for making time for this ministry. Even though I was around Clay quite a bit at Colonial Hill Baptist Church in Snyder, I really got to know him at the weekly BSM lunches at Western Texas College. We had some fun lunches.
I know Clay loved Lisa, his kids and grandson Jonas beyond belief. However, his love for the Lord was even greater. He will be missed, but he can say with the apostle Paul, "I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."
II Timothy 4:7.
Now I would be remiss if I didn't leave you with one of his favorite movie quotes and an adaptation of another favorite movie quote.
From: The Princess Bride
"Mawwage. Mawwage is what bwings us togeva today. Mawwage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam." The "Impressive Clergyman"
From: Star Wars (on May 4 of every year)
"May the fourth be with you."
Have a great time with Jesus, brother! We'll see you soon!
