D.E. at RMH on ABC

He is one of those people that, more often than not, doesn’t appear to have a “filter”.

 

He says what is on his mind with grace because, more than most people, he’s learned that life is far too short to stumble around in the endless, dark fog of people-pleasing tendencies. He loves people, wants to hang out with them in their pain, and on purpose empties himself of himself in order to let God’s extravagant love seep out through his pores. 

 

To me, my step-dad Dick East is a shining example of someone who is living to bring some LIFE in dead places. He does not live like there isn’t hope, and to those who feel that it’s somehow been lost, he has a knack for ushering it back in.
