Dick Montgomery

Dick Montgomery is a pretty normal name. He also is my uncle. Dick died recently. (I also laugh at the discrepancies on basic facts between all the stories I link to here.)

"They kept saying he was a normal guy, but I think they meant ordinary. No normal guy has 18 kids. Ordinary men ("Elijah was a man just like us") can live extra-ordinary lives when it's all given over to Jesus. The testimony was this: that Dick lived by faith not by sight, that his heart was pure and his conscience clean before God. So he was ready--whether he knew it or not, to be with Jesus. Asher said that was a good thing, because if Jesus hadn't taken him home, Dick would never have stopped adopting children and never have gotten any rest." - Shirley

Now rest and work are one. Godspeed, Dick.
