On Becoming A Follower Of Jesus Looking back, I had struggled for about three years with two questions. One, what is Christianity? And two, what is it to be a Christian? I had substituted Bible study and took on church activities rather than have a relationship with Jesus Christ. During this time, I was readingContinue reading “Happy Spiritual Birthday!”

Tomorrow is my Spiritual Birthday. It was on a Sunday, the 8th day of September, that I became a Christian. I will write more about that tomorrow.

However, I need to back up and tell you why our move is interesting, at least from our perspective. We left Albuquerque, New Mexico, on June 1, 2022. We had closed on selling our homeContinue reading “Take a Load to Lufkin”

Last night we had a fiftieth anniversary friends party. Terry and Carolyn Box told someone that it was the fiftieth anniversary of being friends with Ron and Betty Claunch. A suggestion was made to have a Friends Anniversary Party. So we did! I think the final total was about 18 attended the celebration at theContinue reading “50th Anniversary Friends Party”

Tanya and I are moving slowly the last several days.  We have had a very busy schedule for a number of days now.  Actually very busy since this move started the end of March.
