Evelyn Dove Coleman: Memories When Most Needed

One day I sat in my recliner and hit replay on a video over and over.  I'd had a difficult day at dialysis and didn't feel too good as usual.  But when I read Mike Parker's column in the Neuse News newspaper, he had included a link that had music I used to sing in Sunday School as a child. Leaning on the everlasting arms. Are you washed in the soul-cleansing blood? There's wonder working power in the blood of the Lamb. 

Those lines from the old familiar hymns washed over me on a morning when I truly needed some good memories.  I remembered one of my Sunday School teachers Mr. George Best singing his bass and baritone versions of the songs in this video. As a child I was mesmerized as he puffed out his chest and cheeks to sing both harmonies.

Mr. George was the consummate "Insurance Man."  He provided our community with advice about risk management, life insurance, and money management. Back in those days, he'd come to your house for your convenience.if you needed him to. Then at the end of the week, he would suit up and teach the children at church. What a foundation and what a good memory!
