Grandpa Begay

A few weeks ago, I said "goodbye" to Pastor Begay. I knew I would not be seeing him again this side of the Jordan and I told him how honored I was to be "allowed" in to his family those ten years ago.

When he met Grandma Begay he already had 8 children and an alcohol addiction. The Lord saved her. Then the Lord saved him. They had four children together and ministered side by side for the next 30 some odd years. Today we celebrated his life and his legacy.

This shot is my favorite of our last time together. He and his bride...Grandma and Grandpa Begay together....yet individually..... contemplating the very real truth that this place is not our home.


A pine box. Gospel music. And purple all around...his favorite color.
