He said it was why he believed and why he is committed - committed to Premier, what it has stood for the past 29 years and how it serves its jewelers, customers and missionaries.
I couldn't possibly do justice to writing down his story, but I know that I loved to hear him talk and see that the core of his vision is the same as mine - that core is Jesus and how we can touch people's lives, truly enriching every life we touch.
These are the three quotes that stood out to me. Take them as they are and know there is a story behind them, one I promise would make you cry and laugh in turn.
"We are all in the ministry." About each of our purposes.
"It's not religion. It's not business. It's a relationship." About what Premier really is.
Finally, this was about not only Tim's story, but really Jesus's story. "One of the sweetest reasons why God saved you is that God is fond of you. He can't stand the thought of spending eternity without you."
