It was prayer request time at my church on Wednesday night. It’s a heavy but important time at Arkana Baptist Church in Norfork. You learn about the trials and tribulations of a church family. Even at a small church there are many.
After the room had quieted and Link Fuller, our associate Pastor, was beginning the Bible study, I raised my hand for one final prayer request.
I began to tell the sad story of Bob Holt, my friend of the last five decades in the newspaper world. He was in his final hours at a medical center across the street from Faurot Field in Columbia, Mo.
