T...Allow me also to pay my tribute to a man of God. There are individuals whom the Lord graciously allows to pass through one's life. The physical encounter may be brief in the scheme of things. But the impact they leave is lifelong and unto eternity, even. Charles Bota is one such gold nugget the Lord graciously brought into my life at an opportune time. I recall when we were young men at LBC in the early 80s - the laughter, the deep spirituality, the humility and of course the gift of composing and singing deep spiritual songs - I still sing to the "How I wish I could go back..." and get challenged every time to work out my salvation with much fear and trembling, lest I miss out when I arrive "...outside the eastern gate." I will also be forever grateful for taking time to come and sing at my wedding in Kitwe in 1990. I cherish the memories. May God bless you as you celebrate your big Five-0 and beyond. Happy birthday my brother.Angakhozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054281020424003631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-73258861031034400092012-03-16T14:09:07.126+02:002012-03-16T14:09:07.126+02:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Angakhozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03054281020424003631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-40440521716798321522012-03-16T07:05:30.958+02:002012-03-16T07:05:30.958+02:00Loved the photo - too cool for school I think.Loved the photo - too cool for school I think.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000735039557970674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-61745239165833966382012-03-14T20:35:08.935+02:002012-03-14T20:35:08.935+02:00To God be the glory for such friendships!

As Michael W Smith has sang:<br />"Friends are friends forever<br />If the Lord's the Lord of them<br />And a friend will not say never<br />'Cause the welcome will not end<br />Though it's hard to let you go<br />In the Father's hands we know<br />That a lifetime's not too long<br />To live as friends!"<br /><br />Congrats to ba Charlie B for clocking 50!Gabriel Konayumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01076569076114940845noreply@blogger.com
