He Did Know Jack!
Posted: April 28, 2023
C. S. Lewis was the focus of much of the late Earl Palmer’s research and ministry…
f you knew Earl,
then you knew Jack
Two brilliant men who had a knack
for dusting for God’s fingerprints
and pointing us to grace.
And in the process joy found them
and guided these two godly men
along a path that led to truth
they longed so much to find.
Jack Lewis and Earl Palmer knew
that faith’s a journey ’til life’s through
and in the shadowlands we learn
the elements of trust.
Pain is God’s megaphone they found
that suff’ring becomes holy ground,
that coffins are not just a box.
They’re wardrobes in disguise.
Mere Christianity? Perhaps!
Two mirrored lives (without relapse)
who call us to reflect the light
they gave us through the years.
* Earl Palmer passed away on April 25, 2023 at the age of 91.
