One of the King's Men

By Estelle Everingham

“One of the King's Men” is the completely factual account of the remarkable life of my son Cameron, whose short Earthly journey demonstrated his unique connection with the miraculous, heavenly realm in which he could function with complete ease and gladness.

Cameron was a tall, blond athlete; a kind, loving, and helpful boy; obedient and well-mannered always; a consistent trier; neat and tidy; and a joy to his whole family. Right from his babyhood, he began to demonstrate his exceptional capacity for the supernatural realm of the Spirit and his unquenchable desire to connect with heaven and with God.

Cameron was, in many ways, a typical, laid-back Aussie kid growing up in the 1980s and into the 1990s. He loved and enjoyed very much the company of his sister and brother, and his life included many of the usual adventures and misadventures common to typical young Aussie boys.

His story is told with authenticity, comical whimsy, enthusiasm, gladness, and a sense of pride in his achievements, evenly mixed with trepidation, horror, and life-changing sorrow, followed by generous helpings of amazement, shock and awe, and finally, real, genuine thankfulness.

This is Cameron's story and welcome to it.

NB. A very few names have been changed to pacify reluctant stars.

I was born and raised in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, in the 1950s as a preacher's kid. Thus, I was required to attend all meetings and activities associated with my father's church, learn copious scripture verses, have a vast biblical knowledge, and teach Sunday school for several years. As a teenager, I attended an all-academic high school, followed by several years at Teachers College and the acquisition of qualifications in teaching. However, absolutely none of these achievements prepared me to be the mother of my extraordinary third child, my son Cameron. Having taught every year level from prep to year 12 over forty-one years, I have now retired and reside on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland. My daughter and son, Katrina and Todd, have both matured into exceptional adults, whose various achievements surprise and excite me. Trina was always going to succeed at whatever enterprise she chose, such is her innate ability, but Toddy has amazed me by becoming a highly successful businessman, with a flourishing business employing various staff members. His leadership qualities are truly exceptional. Their greatest achievements, however, are the children they have produced, the grandchildren they have given me. Two from Trina and six, plus a great-granddaughter, from Todd. My two youngest grandchildren are a particular delight to me as they are both boys, and both have blond hair. Also, they live close enough to me so that I am able to spend time with them and enjoy the thrill of playing pirates, cars, and play dough activities, as well as dining out with them and visiting the zoo, the pool, the park, and of course, the beach at Caloundra. My life has been so blessed.
