Mrs. Hunt

I attended West Los Angeles Baptist High School on Barrington Ave from 1981-1984.  Mrs. Ruth Hunt was my English teacher.  I remember her kindness, her gentle way, and her glasses which made her eyes look huge.   She didn't talk too much about Mr. Hunt in class but we knew that he was an author and had written some book that caused a bit of a ruckus (Seduction).   While many will praise God for his life, I praise God for her life and the few short years that I had with her.  She was a wonderful teacher who was both an encouragement and challenge.  Her class was not one to be lazy in or to play around in!  It has been thirty years since my high school graduation and I still have my senior yearbook.  Here is the message that Mrs. Hunt wrote:  "Dear Daren, I have so many special memories of this year and a very important one is you. I know God has some very significant tasks for you and I pray you'll know the full satisfaction of serving Him effectively and joyfully.  Don't lose touch.  Much, much love, Mrs. Hunt."  Unfortunately I did lose touch and only found out tonight (3/2/2014) that Mrs. Hunt recently joined Mr. Hunt in the presence of our Lord.  My sincerest condolences to her family.  I will be among the many who look forward to a happy reunion with Mrs. Hunt.
