It was almost three weeks to the day from when Philip Clarke passed into eternity. I was attending a large Christian conference for college students. Ironically, Phil had been in charge of recruiting for this conference at Georgia Tech in the fall, at least until his death on December 7th.
The conference was highly emotional for me and the rest of Phil’s friends which were in attendance, but we held it together. We learned. We worshiped. We leaned upon each other.
The final night of the conference, I was standing against the back wall of the conference room.
