--- Page 1 --- Celebrating the Life of Carl Juan Twyman June 21, 1949 - July 29, 2021 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, Thave kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 --- Page 2 --- Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
