The Ohio Independent Baptist, July/August 1994

, Keeping Up With Our Camps s ·ew Ranch f would rather be the gatekeeper, On this verse Pop made his stand. He knew his place at Skyview, was exactly as God planned. Every dream Pop ever drea,ned, came true here in this place. You could see it in his twinkling eyes, and the smile upon his fa ce. In the service of the Lord, how endlessly he worked. No job was beneath him, no task he ever shirked. When he walked these many acres, his heart would.fill with joy. For here the Lord would touch the lives of many girls and boys. Skyview was Pop 's missionfieldfor twenty-four years long. Though his body grew so weary, his fai tli forever strong. God's ever faithful servant, pure of hea rt steadfast and true. Pop set a great example for me, and all ofyou. So I wonder, as we gather here in Pop's loving memory, When heaven's gates swing open wide fo r us, Will it be Pop that turns the key?
