This week our church family said good bye to a former minister. Clark Scott served as minister at PBCC for 20 years. Under his leadership, the church was involved in 3 building programs, he preached hundreds of messages and was loved by the congregation dearly. I for one am grateful for his ministry at PBCC. One of our members said of Clark he was a true pastor of a preacher. Clark loved people and it was evident by the influence he made in people's lives. I spoke with Clark back in December and the one thing I remember about our conversation was the way he loved to laugh. Even with death at hand Clark knew how to laugh. Clark really had a handle on this life. He knew this life is only temporary. James said our life on earth is but a vapor, here today and gone tomorrow. Clark lived not for his farewell from this life, but to hear "Welcome Home" from his heavenly father. Today Clark is hearing the words we all want to hear - Welcome Home! May we all honor Clark by living in such a way, so one day we will hear those words as well.
