I cannot say enough good thinks about my longtime friend, J.E. Cope. He came to work for me more than three decades ago, and while our paths went separate ways following that time, we have stayed connected ever since. I have worked with many people over the years, and I can confidently say JE is one te best salesmen I've ever known. His personality is contagious, and he has tremendous character. Throughout JE's life he has always exemplified the quality of following through. When he commits to something, you can count on it getting done and being done well. JE would tell you life has not always been easy for him. But a-er battling addiction, he courageously got the help he needed and I am so proud of JE's fortitude to stay sober for 35+ years now. He had a servant heart back when he worked for me, and that is even more on display now. JE continues to pour into others that have faced similar challenges to his through discipleship and mentorship programs. I believe JE has found his true calling to minister to others and provide positive encouragement and challenges through a series of daily devotions he has written based upon his life experiences and Scripture. I have had the privilege of receiving these daily messages from JE for two years, now, and I use these devotions to start out on the right path every single day. I believe this is a God-given gi- JE has learned to use to help others. I have personally been encouraged by these devotions from JE and I hope they can be used to positively impact the lives of others as well.
