A Great Tribute

It is thrilling to read the tribute in this article about legendary golfer and follower of Christ, Byron Nelson.

Over and over people comment on the way he conducted himself and the way he was respected by others.

I especially like this summation: "the thing that defined the man was _______"

What kind of influence are you having on those who know you? If they summed up your character, what would they say defined you?

"'Byron Nelson was a man who was at peace, a man whose life and entire being was filled with joy,' Nantz said. 'If you were lucky enough to come into his area, he passed it on to you. For all his accomplishments, the thing that defined the man was his faith, his goodness and his joyful heart and spirit.'"
