May Dr. Clanton rest in peace..... our friendship started out helping him pen & load cows quite a few years back, and being my doctor throughout alot afterwards... to me calling him at home for health advice for my kids.... I say... " Thank You Dr. Clanton... Job well done!" Sometimes we don't understand, but got to keep the faith...

My husband, Brian, was a patient of his for many years, and credits Dr. Clanton for saving his life, during a strange illness in his youth. He delivered our second son on July 9, 2000. I asked him once on a visit if there was any way to make sure that my next child was a girl, that I had heard some old wives tales and wondered if any of them really worked. I will never forget Craig's response...he said to play soft music and light some candles to set a relaxing and romantic mood, and have Brian draw me a warm bath...(and I'm thinking, WOW, the atmosphere can determine the sex of our baby? Then he completes his directive with an absolute straight face)...then tell Brian to call me and I'll come over and take care of the rest! It was hilarous! He then went on to explain to me that the sex of the baby is determined by the dad, and that Brian makes "man cubs", while he consistantly makes girls. Not the miracle answer I was looking for, but it made for a great memory, and I thought you might enjoy it. I'm thankful to have known him. It is no secret that he was a good man, and an outstanding Physician, but I hope he really knew just how many lives he impacted, and how much he will be missed.Tamron Davishttp://tamron_davis@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9738192.post-6778090238879087002011-05-03T22:55:33.056-05:002011-05-03T22:55:33.056-05:00Dear Brent,

I am not eloquent of speech, ...Brent & Family,<br /><br />I am not eloquent of speech, nor do I have the words to express the feelings of my heart at this challenging time. I have always admired your ability to use the English language to convey a thought. Not to mention having that wonderful voice with which to express those thoughts. But like you, I do have a faith in God and His promises that you, your family, all of us can lean upon at times like these. No,this isn't how it's "supposed to happen", but what can we do when it happens? <br /><br />At times like these it's good to go back to scripture. That's what Jesus did when He faced challenging times. A couple of passages come to mind:<br /><br />Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.<br /><br />Jer 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.<br /><br />I don't know why bad things happen to good people. I don't know why men like Craig who are faithful to God, their families, an asset to their community, suffer while others who turn their back on God seem to flourish. <br /><br />But I do know God is Just, He is right, and always does the right thing. With the human eye I cannot always see that. But through the eye of faith, I know it. <br /><br />I know Craig, like all of us will leave a legacy. That legacy began in your faithful parents, was passed down to Craig and each of you, and will live on long after any of us are gone. <br /><br />This life is like a vapor that appeareth for just a little while then vanishes away. Life at it's longest is short. Eternity is forever. <br /><br />David said at the loss of his child, "he can't come to me, but we can go to him". That is our hope.<br /><br />So at this difficult time, lean upon the Lord,not our own understanding. Our prayers are with you and the whole family.<br /><br />RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9738192.post-50134597872951387202011-04-30T00:32:38.354-05:002011-04-30T00:32:38.354-05:00Writing about things that affect us strongly is a ...Writing about things that affect us strongly is a great cathartic.
