I went forward during one of his early Crusades. I remember when he became a member of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. He said he also needed a pastor, and that was Dr. W A.

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!”

The mantra since June 6 has been, “Take a load to Lufkin.” Lufkin, Texas, is our new city of residence. 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”
