In Memorium

The (Reverend) Elder Jonathan Joseph Moultrie

My husband, also my pastor

A man of prayer, and a life long student of the scriptures. He was a dedicated apostolic preacher and teacher of the gospel of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. As a mentor, he was an outstanding role model of holy and upright living, sanctification, and moral integrity. He was known to be fair; he was gentle, yet uncompromising in his godly counsel and teaching.

He loved people! He enjoyed good conversation! He appreciated genuine relationships! Most of all, he taught us all to just love Jesus!

Dedication

To the reader: As you read each poem, may you enjoy the experience of the simple, yet wonderful life of a few decades ago; may your reading about relationships of family and friends bring warmth to your heart; and may your relationship with our Heavenly Father grow deeper and more beautiful as you realize how much God truly loves you!
