A Couple More Things on Grandpa H
One thing I forgot to mention about my Grandpa Hedman was his love of the Lord's Prayer. I don't think I realized it until I was in my late teens. The Lord's Prayer was "routine" for me; we recited it regularly in our worship. But Pentecostals don't put regular recitation of the Lord's Prayer in their worship - I think it was seen as all too Roman Catholic. Grandpa loved it though and in the latter years of his life was asked to lead public recitations of it, for example at my first wedding and other similar occasions. It was his example that motivated me to take the prayer more seriously and really think about what it meant and why, in our church, we said it regularly.
