I was born in a small town in West Tennessee. My father worked for the State of Tennessee Highway Department and was making a good living. Then the lure of bigger and greater things was too much. He went to work in the oilfields of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Illinois. He was making a decent salary, but then came alcohol.
We moved, moved, and mover some more. I attended so many schools I couldn’t begin to name all of them. I was in High School when it all came to a head. I left home and went to Tennessee, to live with Dad’s brother. After graduation I enlisted in the Marine Corps. After Book Camp, they gave me a free ride to a place called Korea.
I married Gloria Stone from Grayville, Illinois. I left the Marine Corps after five years and joined the U.S. Navy. I have traveled all over the world including a place called Viet Nam. I was assigned to Staff Duty in Hawaii. I finished my career and retired. Then it was off to a new career. I attended a Junior College in Robinson, Illinois, received an Associate Degree and then off to Eastern Illinois University, I received a Bachelor of Arts. I have worked in insurance, I taught school, I managed a construction company that built Low Income apartments.
Finally, I gave in and let God do with me as He saw fit. I have served as Deacon, Elder and Preacher. I served a small church for five years and then moved to Texas where I served for almost ten years. While I was there, I completed a degree in Pulpit Ministry from the Baptist Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee. Then I completed a Doctorate degree in Theology.
This is when BLESU2 Ministry came into being. Now once again I will prepare items for a Web Site, to inform, encourage, and help build your faith in Jesus Christ our Savior.
