The Todd Wilson Story

Book Cover & Preview Text
Chapter 1 Meet Todd Todd Wilson was born on November 23, 1984. He was a true blessing from God. His mother, Carolyn, and father, Charles had tried for several months to get pregnant without any luck. Their pastor prayed over them one Sunday morning and God smiled down on them. God gave them Todd and later on Amanda. Todd grew up and became a volunteer firefighter like his dad. He graduated high school in 2003 and got a job with his dad at Southwire. He loved hunting, fishing, and after we met he loved to go horseback riding with me. He enjoyed hanging out with his friends. I don’t know much about his life before me. From what little I’ve heard I believe he was a good kid. I’m not one that believes in love at first sight but I loved Todd the first time I saw him. Todd was saved at Judgment Journey in 2007 and baptized at Big Springs Baptist Church in 2008. He tried to live the right way. He had always been the type of person that would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it. He was a good man and didn’t deserve to die with cancer. He shouldn’t have had to go through the things he did at the end. It just goes to show that we never know what our fate will be and we better be ready to go when God calls us. Todd was ready to go. He just thought his time wouldn’t come up for another 50 years or so.
