Remembering Gary Carter: An Intimate Conversation with His Family | Plus: Feeding Thousands with Pastor Jordan Davis

Sandy Carter is the widow of the late Baseball Hall of Famer, Gary Carter.  Christy, Kimmy, and D.J. are her and Gary's children.  Gary's 19 year Major League Baseball career was spent primarily with the Montreal Expos and New York Mets.  He was nicknamed, The Kid and was named an All-Star 11 times and was an essential member of the 1986 World Series champion Mets.  In May 2011, Gary was diagnosed with a brain tumor and less than a year later he passed away at the age of 57.  His statistics and intense play on the baseball field were more than enough to gain him entrance into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.  But Gary was so much more than that and who better to tell about this great man than his wife and children who knew him as much more than a great baseball player; they knew him as a great husband, father, and human being.  They share personal stories, cherished memories, and a side of "The Kid" that fans never got to see on the baseball field.  It is a beautiful tribute to a man who left a lasting mark on and off the diamond.    Jordan Davis aka Pastor Jordan is using his love of cooking barbecue to help people.  He founded The Smoking Pastor Project along with his wife, Kati, and as per their website, "At The Smoking Pastor Project, we believe a good meal does more than fill a stomach — it feeds the soul."  "Jordan considers barbecue as more than a hobby. It’s a craft, a calling, and a way to bring people together. The smoke, the fire, the laughter—these moments have shaped his belief that a shared meal can change someone’s day, or even their life."  Jordan and Kati are doing amazing work and we are glad to provide additional exposure.  Go to https://www.smokingpastorproject.com/ to learn more about Jordan, The Smoking Pastor Project, and what you can do to help.
