I had reservations about making this post.
If you're intending to read, then please read the entire post.. Thank you..
However, letting it be known that if my father was alive that today September 21st WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS BIRTHDAY.. I loved my dad dearly while he was alive, but now that he is deceased, the dead know nothing according to Ecclesiastes 9:5, which reads, "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten"..
Jerry Jerkins CAN NOT HEAR THE LIVING, nor can HE FEEL OUR EMOTIONAL LOVE FOR HIM.. My father was a very very very good MAN, a strong MAN, a LEADER, a parent father figure not only to his 4 blood children, but to 1000's of others.. He firmly accepted and believed that what is written in the Bible was God's Word and taught me to accept ALL OF GOD'S TRUTH as well.. I am so honored that the City of Clarksville TN dedicated the route of Kraft St to the Red River Bridge as "Pastor Jerry G. Jerkins Memorial Highway" on his born-day (not birthday) September 21st.. Not only as everyone says "I look just like my dad", but I also have his principles regarding God's Word.. So I'm asking everyone to please do not comment such things like : Happy Birthday, Happy Heavenly Birthday, or nothing regarding a birthday for the dead know nothing remember.. And Pastor Jerkins taught against this misbehavior amongst those that say they are "Believers"of God's Word..
Instead, comment something similar to: We celebrate the memories, This was well deserving of his works, a wonderful man, or something similar.. If you really have love for the ones who is now deceased, then relate to them by their principles.. Thank you and most surely know that I and the Jerkins family appreciate all you have done over the many years of Jerry Jerkins life and thereafter..
