49 days after he gave his Senior Testimony Elijah Todd Davis went home to be with the LORD. Here is his testimony. Are you ready to meet the LORD? Do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the LORD is King? And that you're heaven bound? Do you have a peace that passes all understanding? None of us had any idea that when Elijah kissed me good bye and bounded out the door Saturday evening, July 28, 2013, that he would never come home.
