An amazing man, on so many levels.
Clif and I had kept in contact over the years, even after he retired from breeding Ameraucanas. Most of our conversations were about our faith and the times we were in. We didn't always agree on our interpretation of the Scriptures, but we always agreed that our faith, our salvation, and our friendship were more important than any minor disagreement over interpretation.
It's strange, really. We had just chatted about a week ago and he had asked me to do some research on a specific verse. Last week was a tough week for me, personally, and I had not gotten around to doing that research. While he'll not ever see those results, I'm still going to do the research and write it down - just as if I was sending it to him. While I've shed tears over the loss today, I did have to chuckle a bit at one thing. Now he's in heaven and getting all the answers first-hand! Wish I could call him and ask him which of us was right.
God Speed, Clif Redden. Until we meet again.
