Val Robinson lived a profound life!
To know Jesus is to live a profound life! And Val's life was profound because he had died to himself and his life was hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). Jesus reflected Himself through Val consistently. At his Memorial Service everyone could have said what I said in one way or another about his profound life. That's because Val--and Janette--have lived as vivid expressions of Jesus.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. -- Proverbs 3:3-4

And all of their seven children live like their parents! Years ago, after their last child was born, Val said to me, "I just realized we are going to have teenagers for 23 straight years." He and Janette home-schooled all of them for all of those 23 years. At the service his children spoke, honoring their Dad with humorous and serious stories. As adults now, all of them love Jesus, all married spouses who love Jesus, and all ten grandchildren are being raised to love Jesus. That is a profound life.

The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you. -- Psalm 102:28
