Robert G Lee was a pulpit giant and proclaimed “a legend in his time.” He was noted for his chuckles, the way he brought forth the word of God, and the impact he made for the cause of Christ. Today's writing in A Friendly Shade does not include any of his humor but it ends with one of his poems and applies to the lives of all people.
As I was reading his memoirs in the book, Payday Everyday, Dr. Lee wrote, “It is not how long people live, but how much they live that matters most. Life Is not measured or evaluated by birth-dates but by deeds.
We live in deeds, not years,
In thoughts, not breaths,
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heartthrobs.
He lives longest who lives the noblest,
Acts the best-
Lives more in weeks than in years
Do some whose fat blood sleeps
As it creeps along their veins.
Robert Greene Lee
