Mr. Boyd was our Thursday Morning Bible Breakfast celebrity for many years.
Just watched the video. He would have been more a celebrity if we had known he married a Hollywood Beauty.
He led as many as 130 men in
Victory in Jesus every Thursday morning. Mr Boyd not singing it but living it today, well maybe both.
Prayers for family.

I am so saddened to hear of Boyd’s passing. Boyd and I are cousins and grew up together, often exploring the countryside on bicycles as young boys did. I will never forget Boyd taking me across the Arkansas River railroad bridge on a bicycle as a train was passing beside us. We lived full lives in spite of our youthful selves. Blessings to Boyd’s family.
