One of our first personal moments with Joe was in the 24 hours before the birth of our first daughter, Emily.

Alice was eight days over her due date, and, of course, we were a bit anxious! So after the morning service, we went to the railing for prayer. Joe prayed a powerful prayer and sent us home with the advice to trust God and relax.

In the middle of the next day, labor began, and, 19 years later, Emily is in her second year in college. We were quite sure Joe’s prayer prompted Him to ‘move us along’ toward the happy event. It’s a fond memory of Joe we’ll never forget.
