A Tribute to Andy

Today we lost an American legend... Andy Griffith.  Like thousands of others, I grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show.  His role as Sheriff Andy Taylor gave us a glimpse of the man he truly was:  gracious & fair, loving & firm, a man of rock solid convictions, and one whose faith was genuine.


Before pursuing a degree in music, Andy prayerfully considered becoming a preacher.  I am so glad he chose the path he did.  I have to believe he touched more lives by the roles he portrayed than he ever would have from a pulpit.

"Andy was a person of incredibly strong Christian faith and was prepared for the day he would be called Home to his Lord," his wife, Cindi Griffith, said in the statement issued through the Andy Griffith Museum in Mount Airy, North Carolina. (CNN)


Andy, your presence & influence will be greatly missed.
