God spoke a word; the world was formed
He breathed a new creation
When he had finished all his work
He gazed in jubilation

With his last breath his work was done
The joy of his salvation
Genesis 1:1, 9, 31; John 1:1, 14; Colossians 1:15; John 19:30; Revelation 3:14; Psalms 51:12, 35:9; Isaiah 53:10

My dad did not outwardly appear to be a very spiritual man. However, on one occasion he conveyed to me a very powerful spiritual reality. As the day drew near for me to be baptized and officially join the church, he stopped me one day in our dining room and asked if I understood what I was doing. I assured him that I did.
