​Imagine reaching the age of 95 and still embracing life with vigor, driving, and enjoying the companionship of a lifelong friend in the great outdoors. This is the remarkable story of LJ Johnson, my father's best friend, born in August 1930. It is a true pleasure to feature LJ on "Grace in the Chase," where he shares his heartfelt journey of growing up during challenging times in Southwestern Virginia.

In this captivating podcast, LJ takes us on a nostalgic journey, recounting his early years when his dog treed a possum, to the present day, where he still enjoys listening to the hounds from the tailgate at 95 years young. His stories encompass the hard times, the joyful moments, a lifelong marriage, and his passion for coon hunting, which he pursued with unmatched dedication.

LJ's narrative is a testament to resilience and authenticity. From donating land for a church to witnessing the impact of that gift, to working well into his 80s, his life is a tapestry of grit and truth. I hope you find as much joy in listening to this episode as I did in creating it, all on "Grace in the Chase."
