Linvel Baker preached for forty years in the small towns of Texas. His final years brought some health challenges, and he chose to retire at the age of sixty-five.
He spent his final earthly day with his brother Lauris on his recently acquired 150 undeveloped ranchland acres. As the sun set, Lauris headed home, leaving Linvel alone. Linvel had a heart attack. He knew there wasn’t time for first responders to reach him. He sat down near a grove of oak trees and removed his boots. He lay back on the ground, with arms outstretched and face toward heaven, and died.
His son-in-law found him with “peace written all over his face.” Linvel understood he was about to step onto holy ground, so he removed his boots and entered Paradise.
