He is a man without a time zone; he is a man with his own time zone!
He can have a hard approach and seem insensitive but has a tender heart and endures much abuse.
He is incredibly frugal and watches every penny except when it comes to giving, his generosity is innumerable and full.
He can yell at you and weep with you in the same moment.
He is always in pursuit of excellence and maturity yet at the same time embracing grace and reality.
He says too much sometimes and yet we can’t get enough of what he says.
He carries so much grief and in the same moment bursts with humor.
He tells the same jokes over and over, yet we laugh again and again.
Martin Luther said that Christianity was a religion of paradoxes and grace. George seems to emulate this principle after years of commitment to his Savior. God bless all those who are blessed by his life!
He doesn’t know why he can rejoice and weep in the same moment - probably something that comes from years of concerning himself with the advancement of the Gospel and the reality of a suffering world!
George has been disciplined most of his life and it allows him to not suffer from fear that comes with change. When you are consistent within your own world then change in the outside world is not so forboding because you don't depend on your externals for meaning and satisfaction. I believe that is where God wants to draw us to in our walk with him and discipline seems to be an integral part of that process.
