As a guy who likes to hold on and keep things for too long, his favorite verse is Luke 9:25 - What good is it for a man to gain the whole world and yet forfeit his soul? The verse reminds him to hold to the Creator more than the creation … but you never know when that spare bolt or wire will be needed.
Bobby enjoys playing guitar, leading worship, and keeping things on the laughing side of life.
