Talking Helps

28Mar
 
 
I have a vivid imagination. I’m sure many of you do as well. Most often, it is a blessing, but sometimes my imagination makes the dark side a little too vivid. This week I experienced the positive side. While writing one of these dailies, I began to picture what it would be like when we can all meet again in person. Even though I am a professed introvert, I do have a social side for those people I know. As I dreamt of that first time in person after this steadily lengthening season, I found myself having an emotional response, a happy one!
 
That must have been Thursday since I was taking the trash out, when Cheryl, my wife, and I crossed paths. I told her about my daydream, and a tear came to her eye, too. Then Cheryl commented, “It’s good to know you are human.” My mind jumped to a little phrase that I took from the psychologist who trained me for Critical Incident Stress Management. (I’m not implying that talking to my wife is stressful #CV19Daily

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was a teen. A friend had invited me to attend church to help out in a Sunday School attendance drive. At the end of the worship service I asked the Pastor how I could know for sure I would go to Heaven. He had someone show me from the Scriptures how to receive Christ and from that day to this, I have had an assurance of Christ as my Savior and Heaven as my eternal home.

Within a few weeks I sensed a building desire to enter into full time ministry. My church observed me and confirmed the call. Upon graduation from High School, I enrolled in Bible College and I have been in ministry ever since. I was ordained to the ministry by my home church in Texas in 1974. It has been my privilege to be Pastor of Preaching and Teaching at Family Bible since 2005.

Cheryl and I were married in 1973. God has blessed us with two children, Rachel and David, and four grandsons.

Favorite part of ministry? - Researching and discussing questions about the Bible.

Favorite verse? - "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm.  Let nothing move you.  Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:58
