Preface to Honor (2/23/06)

Scotty and I had the privilege of being together for a week on this journey. It was a slip in our enemy’s agenda for us that was a complete blessing. Tears were shed, emotions expressed but I could have never been more encouraged by a man. Scotty is a man’s man. He has the courage of a lion. People who don’t live in risk could never appreciate the tears of a man who laid all upon a cross for the honor of his God and God’s truth. I could not help but recognize the maturity and self-sacrifice of this man. I have met great men and studied the lives of countless and they all have this in common with Scott; in the ordinary course of life opportunity for the extraordinary can be seen by eyes of courage. As the greats before him who thought the extraordinary normal Scott will obtain much honor and respect. He does not understand that his fight in the foxhole being lonely is because all others are cowards. When this battle is over my greatest treasure will have been to share this man’s life of faith in real time. I’m proud of you Scott and soon the world will get its introduction to a new hero.

There is also another man named Ken who you’ll be learning of soon. He knows and has all the same elements as any hero.
