This isn't a post about boasting or about making a name for yourself on earth. It's a post about taking the place God has planted you and doing your best to make it great for HIS honor. My grandfather, William "Shug"Kisner, dedicated much of his time, talent, blood, sweat, money, prayers, and tears to the town of Martinsburg, West Virginia... his town. Yesterday, the town of Martinsburg gave back to him by naming a bridge in his honor. The bridge is coincidentally located just beside his home and the ball field, where he spent so much time. Although I'm sure he'd be so very honored by this gesture, the thing is, he didn't do all that for his name to be recognized... he did it for God and for the good of the people of his town. So, as proud as I am to have called him my grandfather and to see his name on that street sign, this is a post about doing your best where you're planted and honoring Christ... and I pray I carry on that "Kisner" trait!
