My heart is filled with emotion this afternoon. The emotions are sad because I lost one of my very best friends. Today Pastor Hugh Skelton went to be with the Lord. But my heart is full of joy because I know he is in his heavenly home right now celebrating.
I'm thankful because I was blessed to have him in my life for so many years. He was a man of steel and velvet. He was the strongest human being I have ever know but he always handled every situation with softness and gentleness. Not only was he my best friend he was also a father figure and mentor to me. He showed me love, kindness, acceptance, spiritual guidance and encouragement that I had never experienced with my own father. My father was not a bad man and he loved me but he was not a spiritual man and he didn't know how to show love.
No matter what the situation or who Hugh was dealing with, he never raised his voice or showed anger in any way. He taught me patience and he also taught me that everyone has a soul and is loved by Jesus and the way to lead them to Jesus is with love.
My life has forever been changed and blessed by knowing him. I pray my life will touch just a fraction of people his life has touched.
Thank you God for allowing me to be a part of Hughs life.

It's 4:30 am here in Georgia. There is a brilliant full moon shining in the clear sky. The craters are in sharp contrast. Amelia Billingsley has had a week in heaven, but it's also been an eternity.
