I had only been a Christian for a little over a year when I met Ralph Burris at Statesville Avenue Baptist Church, and began attending his Sunday School class. His enthusiasm for the things of God was incredibly inspirational for me. I think part of it was that I was a single man, and here was a man, like me, who was single ... but content to live in God's will, and be a follower of Christ. I know that God used him, in that chapter of my life, to influence me to stand alone for Christ. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for sending Ralph Burris my way, and preparing a place for both of us!
