After
looking over
other sites I feel that this is the thing to do,
after all
how do
you get to know me...I was born (yep...not hatched)
in
Lincoln Park, Michigan, raised in Petersburg, Mi.
joined
the
U.S.Navy in March 1943, spent WWII in the Pacific
arena and
one
ship I was on was torpedoed. Stayed in the USN for 20
years
and
retired in 1962.
Got married to wonderful lady who was also in the
Navy as a
WAVE,raised six children, four boys and two girls,
and have
11
grand children. We have been married 50 years.
Worked for Northrop A/C in Anaheim, Ca. as a
Security
Officer, worked in Construction, Private Patrol
Service,
Fire
Chief of the Green Valley Lake,Ca. Fire Dept. and
whatever else came my way. I just had a good time at
what
the devil said
was fun...became an alcoholic and "religion" was not a part
of my life.
On 21 Oct.1974 I had a heart attack (age 49).
Drs. had
me
like a vegetable, can't do this, can't do that, can't eat
this, can't eat that, etc. While in the hospital I became a
"Born
Again Believer" and turned my life completely
over to
Christ. After being released from the hospital
I went to a Revival meeting and God touched my heart and
healed it.The Dr. didn't believe what happened and said all
he knew was
that
I now
had the blood pressure of a young boy and took me off
of
all
medications and to this day I have not had a problem
with
my
heart...God is so good...when God heals He does a
perfect
job...Praise His Name...
We were instrumental in the starting of five
churches,taking
part in the
leadership...17
years in
Evangelistic work in an RV, ministering to
"Snowbirds" and
to
whom ever would listen. Seven of those years were
with the
"Christian Crusaders" a motorcycle ministry to the
biker
world.
Worked with several Tent
Ministries...where my wife sang for the
Lord and I did PR & Video work. We give God all the
Glory
for the
souls that were brought to Jesus our Saviour.
We are at present time off the road to
minister to
family
needs in Joshua Tree, Ca....upon our completed tasks
here
we are
open to the needs of the Lord where ever He takes us.
It's
been
25 years of ups and downs, valleys and mountains,...a
lot
of
learning, stretching & growth and thru it all we have
promised to
do----"WHATEVER IT TAKES"-----. Always
remember that
Christ Loves you and desires that you become one of
His
children
.... let Him be your Lord and Saviour,
today..
