ONE OF OUR H.W.C. MEMBERS WENT HOME TO BE WITH THE LORD

JUST THE OTHER DAY. HE WAS 25 YEARS OLD AND PLAYED THE

BASS FOR OUR CHURCH. HE WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO WOULD

GIVE YOU ANYTHING THAT HE HAD IF HE THOUGHT YOU NEEDED IT.

HE HAD A SPECIAL SENSE OF HUMOR THAT CAN ONLY COME FROM

GOD, AND HE USED IT TO THE FULLIEST.

THIS IS MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY OF HOW MUCH

BROTHER ALAN BOOKER MEANT TO ME.

NOW,WE HAVE ALL READ IN THE BIBLE ABOUT "THE WRITING ON

THE WALL",SO IT IS ONLY FITTING THAT I CALL THE TITLE OF MY

TESTIMONY "THE BANGING ON THE WALL"!!!!

MY WIFE AND I WORK IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AT OUR CHURCH.

AT TIMES IT GETS REALLY BUSY IN THE FINANCE OFFICE, EXPECIALLY

WHEN IT IS TIME TO COUNT THE OFFERINGS THAT ARE COLLECTED

IN EACH SERVICE, ETC.

EVERYTIME THAT ALAN WOULD COME FROM THE FELLOWSHIP HALL

TO GO TO THE STAGE TO GET READY TO PLAY, HE WOULD START

BANGING ON THE WALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE HALL.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DID IT, BUT HE SOMEHOW WOULD KNOW

THE VERY MOMENT THAT WE WOULD BE DEALING WITH COUNTING

MONEY OR KEYING IN CONTRIBUTIONS, ETC. ALL OF A SUDDEN WE

WOULD HEAR,( BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG ) AND WE WOULD

SOMETIMES HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT AFTER 100 TIMES OF HIM DOING IT THAT IT

STARTED TO GET ANNOYING. LOL!!!!!

AFTER HE PASSED AWAY, THE LORD SHOWED ME THAT ALL THE

BANGING WAS ALAN'S WAY OF TELLING MY WIFE AND I THAT HE

LOVED US.

I BELIEVE THAT I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING RIGHT NOW JUST TO

HEAR "THE BANGING ON THE WALL" !!!!     
                        
                             SEE YOU SOON, ALAN !!!!
