我出生在乡下,在俄克拉荷马州的一个小镇长大。我小时候搬到加利福尼亚,在加利福尼亚的阿卡塔读高中,但成长在几英里外的麦金利维尔。小时候,我们在俄克拉荷马州住在一个农场。我们没有电,没有室内管道,从院子外的井里抽水。我的出生不是由医生接生,而是由我的祖母,一位助产士,接生的。她在 20 世纪 30 年代和 40 年代,在居住的地区接生了数百个婴儿。
我 5 岁时搬到俄克拉荷马州的珀金斯,读完 8 年级后搬到加利福尼亚读高中。我 19 岁结婚,娶了我亲爱的妻子玛瑟尔,并开始组建家庭。我们有两个孩子和 11 个孙子。我在 20 多岁时接受培训并学习家电维修业务,在这个行业工作了 24 年,最终卖掉生意并在 43 岁时退休。
21 岁时,我也为上帝,耶稣基督,奉献了我的生命,在过去 46 年里,我一直为他和他的人民服务。
马塞尔和我现在居住在俄克拉荷马州的萨普尔帕,我们打算在这里度过余生。我们祈求上帝的祝福,赐予所有花时间阅读这本书的人,并希望这本书能祝福你们所有人。
Born in the country, and raised in a small town in Oklahoma. I Moved to California when I was a young boy, and went to High School in Arcata, California, but grew up in McKinleyville, a few miles away. When I was a small boy, we lived on a farm in Oklahoma. We had no electricity, no indoor plumbing, and drew water from the well outside. My birth was not by a doctor, but by the hands of my grandmother, who was a midwife, and who also delivered many hundreds of babies around the area where she lived in the 30's and 40's.
I moved to Perkins, Okla. when I was 5, went to school through the 8th grade, and then moved to Calif. and went through High School. I married at 19, to my wonderful wife, Marcelle, and started to raise a family. We have 5 children and 11 grandchildren. I trained and learned the appliance service business when I was in my 20's, and worked in this trade for 24 years, when I finally sold out and retired at the age of 43.
At age 21, I also dedicated my life to the work of a Minister for the Lord, Jesus Christ, and have for the last 46 years, dedicated my life to Him, and the service of His people. Marcelle and I now live in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, where we intend to spend the rest of our days. We ask God's blessing upon all who take the time to read this book, and hope that it blesses you all.
