Pastor Jessie “Jake” Jones touched many lives during his journey here on earth. For years he wrote a popular column for the Clinch Valley Times entitled, “Topics of Truth.” Today we’re sharing one of those columns with you in his memory.

Pastor Jones will be missed by his family and friends, and we offer our condolences to those left behind to mourn his passing.
