Personal note: For five years while working as Church Resources Director at Freed-Hardeman, I attended the monthly preachers meetings at 21 Century Christian. As host for the occasion, Jim Bill always acknowledged me and gave me the opportunity to take a couple of minutes to tell what was going on at Freed-Hardeman. I will always treasure his kindness. ---Tom
