Yesterday I witnessed the funeral of an 84 year old man known as Mr. Bozo...That's what they called him! He was a man of fun and faith, who lived a life of passion and purpose. Isn't that awesome? To get to the end of your journey, and discover that you truly made a difference is living life to the full. I must make a difference with the life I've been privileged to receive. So often I play it safe; LIMITED RISK - LITTLE FAITH - LOWLY AMBITION! How sad... Through his life and death, Mr. Bozo taught me to 'seize the day' - the moment - the time! Person after person testified that Mr. Bozo always left his encounters with a smile. Are people better off from having made contact with me? I must, therefore, love better, listen more, talk nicer, serve greater, and laugh often!
I pray that like Mr. Bozo I'm able to teach with my life, and even more with my death...
Thanks, Mr. Bozo
That was my grandpa, Willie T. Medlock. He was indeed called and affectionally known as "Mr. Bozo" to all who knew him. Til this day the rich legacy of my grandparents live on through and because of their faith in God and in the Power of His Might.
