One Last Hurrah

[RevRay]

Tomorrow will be a big day for me as I will be preaching my last sermon ever as a full-time minister of the Gospel. I will be officially retiring after 11,011 days in full-time ministry (June 2, 1985 to July 26, 2015). I'm sure it won't be my last sermon ever, but from here on out life will certainly be different than it has been for the last 30 years. My sermon title will be "A Never-Ending Story". My personal walk with Lord began back on May 18, 1972, and it has been a wonderful journey, for which I will be forever greatful ... hence the title. I pray for all who read this that God might give you an even greater sense of joy and enthusiasm for life than He has given me. May God bless you all and all those you love beyond all your expectations ... both now and forever.

Sure hope this doesn't mean your going to stop praying for the people on this forum......................................lord knows we need it:o

Congratulations on your retirement and thanks for your service to us all. I sure hope you will keep praying for all of us and specially our country. I fully believe prayer is the answer. The further our country has gotten away from it, the worse it has become. We need more like ya Rev. Don't quit. And once again. Thank you.

Amen!!

Congrats on the retirement. :yo: Try not to let those idle hands now turn to devil's work! :ohmy:

[Armybrat]

Congratulations! Protecting our country and saving souls is a great dual calling.

May your next chapter be just as fruitful.

Congrats and thank you for all your service. I wish I had the guts to retire, but the idea terrifies me.

Congrats on retirement RevRay. The life of service you have lived has touched many lives and those lives have touched many others for the lord. We give you a hearty AMEN.

On the subject of life after retirement, my wife (retired after 25 yrs at age 52) advises that you are about to be so busy you will wonder how you ever had time to go to work before...

Vaya con Dios Rev Ray. Enjoy your retirement. Never stop learning new things, it keeps the mind young. I'd love to be there for you last full time sermon.

[Dbholfo]

Time to get refired! Less preaching but more ministry outside the 4 walls. Sick 'em RevRay!

Where's the update, Brother Ray?

It's not enough to just say it to our folks "in uniform" ...... Brother Ray, Thank you for your service, Sir.
