Deacon Arthur Lee Bryant, Jr. Aka “Peanut” Life Speaks for Him

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have keep the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto

all them also that love his appearing.

(2Timothy 4:6-8)
