In Honour of My Father and Mother
Pastor Coleman's parents (Jim and Myrtle) have sung many specials through the years in many churches in several states. Though Jim Coleman was the more prolific singer, Myrtle has sung in many church choirs from her youth; and of course, always sang whenever her husband asked her to. Though she never had a strong voice, she had a voice that was used of God to bless many hearts. She almost always sang with her eyes closed. She truly sang unto the Lord! She went to be with the Lord in March of 2013.

In 2010, a young missionary to Egypt, who attends the same church as Pastor Coleman's parents, took a picture of them kissing. It went viral and was spread around the world, winning first place in an international competition in 2012.
Here's what the photographer, Karen Flowers, said in an email to Pastor Coleman: "You have no idea the blessing they are in my life, and the reaction I have gotten world wide with this photo! A very acclaimed international photographer has likened the impact of this photo to the one posted after world war II of the soldier kissing the lady on the street after the war ended!" It inspired her to author a photography book featuring people and other of God's creatures kissing. You can acquire your own copy here. |
