You may have heard or saw on the news that Geoff Whitsitt died in Afghanistan wednesday. I think it is very important to remember all of our fallen soldiers and what they fight for everyday. When I heard the news that Geoff had died when his Humvee was blown up it really hit home with me. You see Geoff has been a friend of not only the Hawk and Tom show for years but he and his brother Steven went to my church (North Hills Communinty Church). Many sundays I would come to chruch and Geoff would be sitting there on the left side near the back and I would ask to sit beside him. Many times we have sang and worshipped together. Neither one of us had a great singing voice but we would belt it out none the less. I remember his big ole' smile when I would sneak up behind him and flick his ear right before I would ask if this seat was taken. He was kinda quiet but would encourage me to set beside him. He ask to come in on the show a couple of times for a class he had and the whole gang loved him and his brother Steven. All these memories flood my mind as I heard the news but the most important aspect of Geoff was his walk with Jesus Christ. He was a man of truth and had a wonderful relationship with Christ. That gives me comfort to know that he is with Jesus at this moment. Geoff was definitely a light in the darkness and a great encouragment to me. I will miss him for now but with my hope in Jesus I will see him again and we will worship together for an eternity to our great Lord and King......take care and shine the light hawk
