"Love On Demand." Runtime 16:00

Note from the webmaster (Grandson John) Caleb passed a week before his 95th birthday. While he began his ministry as a strict Baptist, the years softened his spiritual stance to an all-accepting faith of love. In fact he often called himself a "Baptist Budhist" or "A Jesus Man" as he felt current religious definitions did not define him. It was such a joy to be able to share the internet with him and see him use it as I always dreamed the Web chould be used: making new friends across the sea, counseling far away people in pain, and sharing the miracle that is within us all. During his final years, he and I spent many hours together doing a weekly podcast called, "Hug Nation." This video is an attempt to bottle up his amazing energy digitally. Whenever I need a jolt of "Love On Demand," I just hit "PLAY." With endless Love, -Grandson John HugNation continues every Tuesday in his honor.
