From the salt shaker of life's experiences I will try to draw out some of the things I have experienced, or have learned, or have been interested in. I plan to discuss a variety of things ministerial - a sort of smorgasbord of things hopefully interesting, informative and sometimes personal, as well as meditative, scriptural and doctrinal.

I'm Back

According to the story Old Rip Van Winkle reappeared after an absence of many years, but I've made it back to the blogosphere much sooner. There's no such word in my New World Dictionary. It doesn't even have Blog.

So I'm back; for how long no one can say. Last month I crossed the 94 mile marker, and my excursions are limited. However, I did attend General Camp. In May I went to preach at Parvin Rd. Church a couple of times. I also went to Huntington, W.Va. for Bro. Trotter's funeral. I have just completed a brief History of the Bynumville Church and also a history of the Holiness Church at Reform. The latter has been in operation more than 125 years.
So far, I'm teaching the adult (really old people's) S.S. Class and conducting a monthly missionary service. In recent years I have done some work for the local Historical Society and written a brief history of the Young People's Society of the Church of God. For years I have been the only surviving member of that group established in 1940. I've written a bunch of stuff, but that's a few years back. Since I'm computer illiterate, my son Jim does that job for me and also does a lot more. He is much involved in our local Tea Party meetings twice a month and also active at our State Capitol.
On Jan. 4, on the opening day of the Missouri General Assembly, a Consent of the Governed Rally was held in the Capitol Rotunda. The meeting was well attended and proved to be quite influential. I had been asked to give the invocation. There were four powerful speakers who each addressed the Preamble and the first four sections of Article One of the Bill of Rights of the Missouri Constitution.


The Missouri Constitution Preamble reads: "We the people of Missouri, with profound reverence for the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, and grateful for His goodness, do establish this constitution for the better government of the state.

"Everything is subordinate to God"
