Don Bayn

I went to Battle Creek to see a friend of mine who has terminal cancer. It was very difficult for me to see Don, as he was physically wasting away and was barely responding to any stimulation.

I was thinking about Don on my way back, and I was thinking about what Don has taught me.

There are Christians in the world that are very particular about trying to do right in every situation. They try to be as absolutely Biblical as possible. They are righteous and good in everything they do. They make one feel worth less and small when we are around them. I would call these people Pharisees.

There are Christians in the world that are very particular about trying to do right in every situation. They try to be as absolutely Biblical as possible. They are righteous and good in everything they do. They make one feel loved, valuable and appreciated when we are around them. I would call these people Saints. Don Bayn was a Saint.

Make no mistake. Don Bayn was a better man than I, but Don would have never believed himself better than anyone. That’s why I will miss him.
