This is kind of a fun piece. My favorite quote is

Quote:

“Throughout my entire life, I have seen my dad’s faith in action,” Johnson says. “I remember there was a big yellow chair in our old house, and every day he used to sit there and read scriptures.”

And though not a Methodist or member of any other organized religion, Johnson recalls that “every Sunday he taught Sunday School at a Methodist church at our little town in northern California for 12 years.” While a witness to his example, Johnson admits that her father was very private about his faith and beliefs. They were something he lived, not something he openly shared, preached, expected his children to live.

And therein lies the paradox of this great man, who held his beliefs so close and private, yet dared through his work to spread messages of hope, values, grace, and even Jesus Christ publicly, in a profession that usually ridiculed such things.
