Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Have you ever been asked who was most influential or had the most impact in your life? In my case it was Max and Elaine whom had a great impact in my life; The Brenneman’s or as we all grew accustom to calling them, the B’s.

Mr. B drove a VW bus [which he fondly called Isaiah] everywhere, particularly Friday nights, Sundays and Wednesday nights. On Fridays evenings he would pick me up and then a gang of kids for youth meeting at our church in Summit Hills and then drove each ones home. I was the first to be pick-up and the last to be dropped off. Mr. B and I would spend hours parked in front of my home in Caparra talking about the scriptures and he would answer my questions about them. Mrs. B was my Sunday school teacher. She was like my second Mom. Both of them came into my life at a pivotal time. In like manner many came in contact with the B’s and the light of the life of Christ shined through them and impacted our lives.   

  

Thank you for shining Christ into our lives.  

Mr. B 1911 - 1987              Mrs. B 1924 - 2013
