It seems appropriate to talk about "doing good," and Clint Beedon in the same sentence. Clint died last night. He was a founding member of our congregation and literally built the church with his hands (and hammers and nails). Clint was one of those guys that embodied what it meant to be a gentleman-- you saw it in how wonderfully he treated his wife, Janice and family, and anyone he encountered. For Clint, doing good was a part of his DNA-- it was something he seemed to do instinctively, naturally....
As we think and pray about what it means to "do good," it is important for us to stop, remember, and celebrate those persons in our lives who have helped us along the way make good and right choices and encouraged a desire within us to look out for and care for others in need.
Who are those people in your life? I would certainly count Clint as a shining example and faithful disciple who witnessed to the power of doing good his 90+ years on earth. God rest his soul.
