    My grandfather Frank Kelow was adopted into a four person white family, which gave him the last name of Douglas. My grandfather was born on February 12, 1902. Frank was raised in Greenville, Mississippi with dozens of cousins, which gave him comfort. Frank’s biological parents did not attend college; in fact, they didn’t even graduate from high school. In Mississippi, “I was surrounded by racism, slavery, and poverty, which gave me the inspiration to give my father a better life” (Douglas). As a young kid Frank often hung out in the streets with his friends and partied a lot. He was a heavy smoker with a tiny taste for alcohol. “Growing up in a poor neighborhood I was introduced to a lot of bad things such as drugs, gambling, and fighting” (Douglas). Around the house, Frank was responsible for mowing the lawn, taking out the trash, and cleaning the pool. At the age of 21 my grandfather entered the army and decided to fight in World War II.

    Scripture views the Holy Spirit as God. Paul referred to Him as the “Spirit of Life” (Romans 8:2). The Holy Spirit is also referred to as the truth, “Spirit of truth” (John 16:13). Many expressions, such as “love of the Spirit” (Romans 15:30) and “the Holy Spirit of God” (Ephesians 4:30), reveal that love and holiness are a part of His nature. The Holy Spirit is omnipotent, He gives spiritual gifts “to each one individually as He wills” (1 Corinthians 12:11). He is also omnipresent, He is with His people “forever.” None can escape His influence (Psalms 139:7-10). The Holy Spirit is also omniscient, because “the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God” and “no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10, 11). The Holy Spirit is considered to be equal with the Father and the Son in the baptismal form, the apostolic blessing, and the spiritual gifts enclosed.…
