Way down in Pecos, Texas a baby boy was born 82 years ago today! Almost three years later, a baby girl was born in Lexington, Missouri, and they both attended Bible College in Bethany, Oklahoma. The very first day she arrived on campus, she "just happened" to sit at the same table to eat lunch where that Texan was sitting -- and I guess the rest is history!!
It was a joy and privilege to serve the Lord in ministry for over 50 years, and now that Dad has gone to heaven, I can still be in the battle "in the secret place of prayer".
Today as our family thinks about Dad -- about happy times shared together -- about singing together -- playing games together -- praying together -- about the grandchildren who were his pride and joy -- and, perhaps, most of all about his longing and desire to "build an ark" for the saving of his house -- it makes me want to sing:
"I am blessed! I am blessed! Every day that I live, I am blessed!
When I wake up in the morning, until I lay my head to rest --
I am blessed! I am blessed!
