I turn 72 today. I know, it is hard to believe. LOL. It is true though. I was born on this date, October 24, 1950 at approximately 10:00 P.M. at St Anthony's Hospital on the corner of Polk Street and Route 66, in Amarillo Texas. This life has taken me on a great journey and to many places. I have met many wonderful people and have made friends with folks of various nations.  God has paired me up with two powerful wives: Norma (1970-2003) and Ruth (2008-present). My natural children, Heather and Aaron are awesome! With Ruth came three daughters, Amy, Angielyn and Ashley whom I have learned to love as my own. Then together Ruth and I have 12 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Aaron's wife, Stephanie, is just amazingly perfect. I truly enjoy Bobby, Amy's husband. Then there is my wonderful church family.  I am truly a blessed man! 

My greatest thrill is knowing my Lord Jesus Christ! It has been my honor to co-labor with Him in ministry all of my adult life.  To represent Him in proclaiming His Gospel is how I get the greatest satisfaction. I aim to do that as long as I have breath.

Some men my age are already retired and doing who knows what, but for me, there remains work to do. The greatest move of God in the history of mankind is upon us and I intend to be in the midst of what God is now doing in the earth.  Whatever He is up to...count me in! When my time comes to leave this world, I will go gladly with His name on my lips and a heart filled with His love.
