I doubt that I am accomplishing as much, but it surely seems to take me longer to accomplish the same tasks! I know the cause could not possibly be age because I am 29 again for at least the 4th time! I am almost getting the hang of being this young and feel very sorry for those who must add a year to their age each birthday! Thanks for all the cards, gifts, and well wishes I have received!
Mother’s Day week was especially busy. For the first time in about 20 years, I preached the Mother’s Day message. I took the liberty of making it my article (on page 6) and trust that it will bless all you Moms, plus encourage the rest of us. On Tuesday, it was off to Houston, where we helped dedicate our new District Ministry building that evening. It was an honor to see my name on the cornerstone. Oh Wednesday, we served as the Ordaining Elder for Pastor Barbara Reemers of Yorktown. What a blessing. then I received a specially designed pin to denote my 50 years as an Ordained Minister. Actually, on March 16, I celebrated 57 years as a credentialed preacher of the Gospel – been preaching all my life!
On Thursday, Pastor Joane and I traveled to Dallas to be a part of the graduation of Pastor James McNatt from Christ for the Nations. It was a wonderful day and one he will never forget.

Since we have pioneered two different churches, I am always excited when people want to talk about beginning a new church.
