I can remember (in the late 1970’s) hearing grandpa tell my dad that Knute was going to be used in great ways by God.

Knute was the Bible teacher that week. God used him and the messages he shared to bring me to a saving knowledge of the Lord. I was not from a fundamental, Bible teaching church and didn’t know the words “saved” and “born again”. But that week I realized I was a sinner and my only hope was in Jesus Christ.
One of the things I remembered was everyone going to the public swimming place, a nearby lake. Knute sat there reading his Bible. I was embarrasssed for him but also very curious why anyone would do such a thing in public! Wasn’t religion something that you did on Sunday mornings? It was the first time that I saw someone “live” their faith in front on believers and non-believers. It impressed me to want to know what was different about what he believed.
I am sure that I am just one of many who will spend eternity with the Lord because of Knute’s faithfulness in serving God. Thank you. And my God richly bless you as you retire.
