Favorite School Memory | I really enjoyed high school. It's hard to say which was my favorite memory, but the most important one was a tragedy that God used for His glory. It was the automobile accident that Alan Chamness, Steve Collier, Jo Ellen Brown, Nancy Milliges, and I were in on the outsirts of Herrin on Saturday evening, 27 February 1965.

This was a real blessing for me as well that brought into my life many new Christian friends and a wonderful opportunity for service in the Greater Christian Community beyond the local congregation. In July of 2001 Liz and I were able to be part of the World Methodist Conference in Brighton, England, and I renewed friendships with the congregation at Sutton Trinity Methodist-Reformed Church where I had served with Br...(read more) |
