I've been a big fan of Rick and Bubba for the last several years - I've always enjoyed their off-beat humor, and the way they talk about their family means a lot to me.

Last Saturday night, Rick's youngest son Bronner, who was two years old, drowned in their family's pool.

Bronner's memorial service was on Tuesday; and Rick gave one of the most powerful testimonies I have ever heard. It was recorded and has been posted on YouTube - I would encourage anyone to see this video - if you're a Christian, it will strengthen your faith in the God we serve. If you're not a Christian, it may explain a little about why we are who we are.

I'm not sure I would be strong enough to do what Rick did; but I hope if I'm ever in those shoes, I allow God to lift me up as He lifted Rick, Sherry and the rest of their family.

Here is a link to the first part of Rick's testimony -  - you can see the other two parts from that page.
