Sermon by Rev. Jerry LiaBraaten
Many years ago I knew a man by the name of Clarence. Clarence Lee. He lived in western Minnesota near Bemidji and Foston. People in the area knew him as a good farmer. He and his wife, Mable, operated a small and profitable “full service” farm complete with livestock and crops. But there was something else people knew about Mr. Lee. They knew that he was highly skilled in animal husbandry. And, they knew one other important thing about him. He loved animals. All animals. So, if you had one that got sick or was injured or was having difficulty in childbirth, you could call on him day or night and he’d drop everything and come.
I knew him, too, only I knew him as Grandpa.
