My grandfather’s name was Donald Ray, and I was given the middle name Dawn after him. It was my grandfather who influenced me to know more about God. As I reflect back and think of my Grandfather I remember a few things: I remember watching evangelists on TV (mostly Billy Graham). I remember listening to talk radio and hearing sermons play as we drove from place to place. I remember watching him journal and write down his thoughts daily. His bible was tethered and worn, full of notes, highlighter and colored pencil. He never knew a stranger; and everywhere we went, he found an opportunity to share stories and relate to others.
