Revelation - An Interpretation Using Chronological Flashback (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781451535167)

I was Born in Frog Jump, Tennessee (no joke) and raised in Huntsville, Alabama. I met my wife Carolyn in my freshman year at David Lipscomb College and finished a BS in Electrical Engineering from Auburn, University and a Masters in Electrical Engineering from Florida Institute of Technology with post graduate work at the University of Tennessee. I am retired from a 40 year engineering career that made full use of the race to space and modern computers. I still write custom small business software applications part time. Carolyn and I have been married for 45 years and have five grown children and ten precious grandchildren. I became a Christian in 1954 and began leading the singing at the Lincoln and Fanning Heights church of Christ in Huntsville Alabama. I continued to lead singing for churches in Auburn, Alabama, Melbourne, Florida, and Estill Springs, Tn. While living in Melbourne, Florida I was a deacon over local missions, and was called on to fill in for six months as the preacher at a congregation considered a mission point for the Melbourne church. After moving to Estill Springs, Tennessee in 1973, I was leading singing at the local congregation where the preacher left without notice. The elders asked me to fill in until they could hire someone. During those next three years the congregation grew from a little over 100 members to 160. When the Estill elders hired a full time preacher, I was called to the rural Little Mountain congregation outside of Winchester, Tn. The church (established 1905) grew from 30 members to 150 in the next 15 years. We added a two-story classroom addition and an auditorium addition which seats 200 while I was there. When they were able to hire a full time worker in 1992, I moved back to my home congregation in Estill Springs, which had fallen on hard times. From a congregation of 40 in 1992, we are now filling the building with over 150 in attendance each Sunday morning. In 2005, I was appointed an elder for the congregation while continuing to preach and teach.
