March 16, 2002



March 16, 2002
(Special meeting in memory of W. Hobart Mitchell. "Popcorn meetings" are those in which numerous people rise to speak.)

Another kernel popping.  What we call “popcorn meetings” were not favorites of Hobie, but I beg his indulgence, and yours. 
Hobie was our founder, friend and leader.  He inspired us for decades past.  He inspires me still: if God sees fit to let me live to Hobie’s age – to give me another forty years of life – how shall I use each day to live up to his example?
