We left California in 1966 and moved to East Tennessee where my father was born and raised. We were share croppers and lived in tenant housing until 1970 when we moved to the Lakeway area of East Tennessee. My occupation has been very diverse, working from every thing from loading trucks to selling cars. I am not an intellectual person, I am just a plain old every day Joe that has made a living from "the sweat of my face." God has blessed me richly by giving me these simple little poems and recitations. This book will most likely never be on the best sellers list or bring me fame and fortune, but if I can touch someone's heart by giving them what is in my heart, then I have accomplished my mission. "For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth from out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." KJV 1611 Isaiah 55:10-11. This is my purpose to put forth God's Word. I am a simple country preacher that felt inspired by God to write things down that were given to me by unction of the Holy Spirit. I was 'Born Again" at age 10 in a little country church named "Bear Creek" in a rural area of Cocke County, Tennessee. I was later called to preach the gospel at age 12, and have been ministering in different local churches for 38 years.
I am married (to a coal miner's daughter) to Judy (Lane) from Clay County West Virginia. We are the parents of three sons and have been blessed with two grandsons. We reside in East Tennessee and enjoy ministering through the preached word, song and poetic recitations. I have pastored several local churches and am currently "in between assignments."view less
