- Have you seen Ken's latest DVD? Ken Davis is "Under the Influence" but it is not what you think! Recorded live in two sold-out shows, this may have been Ken's best performance yet. The entire family will love this DVD! Check it out »
Beautiful!
Ken,
This was a beautiful story. How blessed you are to have been raised by such a man. Thank you for sharing his story this day as we honor America’s military heroes. Your father was surely one of them.
Ken,
What an amazing man your father was for many reasons, but especially as a witness to God. Thanks for sharing his story… it is nearly unbelievable, but so uplifting because of God’s peace, grace and forgiveness. Very touching.
My dad also served in the Phillipines, but at the end of WWII, not the beginning. Although wounded in battle, it was not so serious that he couldn’t remain in the Pacific and help close out that terrible conflict, not coming home until 1946.
Today he is fighting another battle, this time with cancer. I called today to thank him for his service to this wonderful country. Soon this battle will be over, but he will have his final victory as he celebrates with his savior.
Thank you to all who have served our nation. You are all heroes.
That is an amazing story Ken! Your Dad’s influence lives on, like a stone in a pond – the effects are endless. Your Father influenced you – you are influencing so many – who knows who they will influence? What an amazing heritage you have!
Thankful for your sharing about your dad. Thankful to God for his love and forgiveness! Thankful for our freedom in the US. When watching the news about Ft. Hood, I wrote a little poem:
The Night Before ‘happy holidays’
Twas the night before ‘happy holidays’
And all through the White House,
Not a protest was heard,
Not even a pout!
The unborn and unwanted were no longer guests there,
killed by money forced from tax-payer health care.
The stocking for ‘the great one’
Hung with much fan fair.
For he felt he alone knew the answers–
He would not share!
Soldiers far from home and soldiers close by
There sacrifices did not even cause him to blink an eye!
“Don’t jump to conclusions,” his words of comfort were,
As the families spent Christmas by a fresh mound of dirt.
Joblessness is good the news journalist say.
Not caring that more and more people have bills left unpaid.
Bailouts are given to big company cheats–
Their top execs flying comfortably to tropical heat.
Twas the night before ‘happy holiday’
But twas really quite sad,
For true Christmas has been lost
Along with America’s proud past.
Will Americans notice?
Will Americans care?
For little by little
Our freedoms are no longer there.
-drr
Oh, how I love Jesus!
Wonderful tribute, a profound story of Hope! Thanks for blessing us.
That’s where your ‘big rocks’ perspective comes from …. you had a head start from your father :}
Very moving story. I am very grateful for your father’s service to our country.
Ken, what a beautiful story of your father’s love for Jesus and what a beautiful legacy your father left – you. Partly because of you my husband is now also with Jesus whom he came to love in the last four years of his life here on earth. Jim was not a believer the time he went with me to my church picnic. For the devotional period your video “Super Sheep” was shown. I did not remember it, but Jim did. Within a few months of going to church Jim was saved. About 2 years later he was diagnosed with lung cancer. During that time he reminded me of your video and asked me if I could find out where I could get it and buy it for him. I did. I also bought all of your videos. During a very difficult time Jim always looked forward to viewing one of your videos. I truly believe his faith grew stronger because of the salvation message you always presented. I remember once I sent you an e-mail telling you how much Jim and I liked your videos and you sent one back to me telling me you were praying for Jim and to say “hi” to him. Since that time he refered to you as “my friend, Ken” to our family. God bless you.
Yes, now it comes back to me. I love this story, so I posted it to my FB page. Thanks for sharing it Ken. Happy Easter my friend.
I will thank your Father when I see him in heaven! I have seen you live in Arizona, but didn’t know about your dad until now!
Sincerely,
Deb Graszer
