You would think they could spell the National Championship-winning coach's name correctly.
Good grief.

I inherited the sarcasm from him...
Mar 22, 2017, 2:43 PM
|
|
One time when I was in high school and he was out of town on a business trip, I had my friends over...
Before he returned, I took all of the empty beer cans and hid them in the bottom of a large trash can under grass clippings from when I cut the yard.
He came home and I was out with friends. When I came back he asked, "Where did all of those beer cans come from?"
I said, "Somebody through them out in the yard."
He replied, "Well, you need to lock the doors when you're gone because someone came in and filled up the ashtrays too."

Love the snarky humor of folks from that generation. They weren't loud and didn't talk much... but when they did, it was always worth waiting for.

Incredible story about an incredible witness

How did he come to be such a true believer? Sounds like his folks did a pretty good job on him, just like he did on you.
thanks so much for sharing the story, and the inspiration. That kind of spirit, praise God, is contagious.

I do not for sure. It would have been mid 50's. Going through his stuff, I found no transcripts from Southern. I know he studied there because we talked about it. I think IBM might have had him in Louisville for a little bit.

Thanks for continuing to share your Dad's legacy and inspire others to remember their Christianity. What a great man and a Clemson legacy!
And thank you Franc for continuing his ministry on a website that has so many sinners like myself!

Aren't we all flawed? He was as well.
I find Tigernet to be a fun diversion from the stresses of life, keep up with Tiger sports, make some new friends, and have some stupid fun.

Know the church well and curious as to its Clemson ties that I had never heard of until just now.
