Bro. Hardwick's 80th Birthday Party
 

We went to a party at Christ Church, Nashville, yesterday to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of my favorite people in the world - Bro. L H Hardwick. He's actually only 20, as his birthday falls on Leap Year day, but we celebrated 80. It was a great time! I got to meet Dave Ramsey, who got up and told how as a young man in his twenties (just a heathen), Bro. Hardwick led him to repentance and faith in Jesus in the Hardwick's living room. He used to play with Mike and Steve Hardwick when they were kids, and had known the family for years.
Eddie also spoke, as well as Phil Goldsberry, Scott Jones and several others. It was a fun day of OLD music and lots of memories. Then we stayed and had dinner at this great little Italian place called Cafe Nonna with our daughter and SIL, and the Goldsberry's and their daughter and SIL. We were tired when we got home, but it was fun!

Unfortunately, I had to work, so I couldn't attend! All the reports I've gotten say that it was an awesome celebration!

I didn't know about this or would have been there for sure! I went to our early service this morning and watched Christ Church's second service this morning live on the web.

When this service is archived and available to watch I urge anybody who either knows L.H. Hardwick's ministry or who wants to just hear the words of a man who pastored the same church for over 50 years.

They did an informal round table with Pastor Hardwick, Dan Scott, both of Bro. Hardwicks sons and his sister in law.

L.H. Hardwick is an amazing man of God. His integrity is impeachable. Even those who disagree with him doctrinally can atest to this.

I told my wife one time that I wished we could have sat under his ministry when he was younger as we only got to enjoy a decade of it before he retired.

I usually check out the CC website every few weeks but apparently not in enough time to know about these birthday events. I hate I missed it.

My wife has pneumonia so it would have only been me but I would have gone.

I think my BIL went to this.

Yep - I saw them there and talked to them.

Is Bro. Hardwick a one or three stepper? Not wanting to argue, just curious.

I think he's a two stepper.
