While living in Cincinnati, Trey was fortunate to have for his barber a man by the name of Oscar Johnson. This was the barber that I had as a college student (Yeah, Oscar, the usual; trim both of 'em). Oscar is one of the sweetest men I have ever had the privilege of interacting with. His Christian spirit shines through every area of his life. He was the same talking to Trey as he was talking to Carl Lindner (his client who also happens to own the Cincinnati Reds). Trey still talks about the man with white hair who gave him lollipops.
Recently, Oscar was diagnosed with cancer. His story is an inspiring example of the hope and joy that Christ gives. Dr. Mike Avery recently wrote an article about Oscar, capturing his optimistic outlook on life. Read it and clip it. Whenever you start feeling down, remember the gentle man with white hair.
