MOM (Clemmie) has a heart of gold, and a thoughtful, listening ear! She is a real "backbone" of organization in my fathers ministry, Missions Unlimited, Inc. She continues to do special things for the mentally handicapped at Human Development Center, where my brother Paul used to work, such as taking food to their annual July 4th Picnic and Christmas dinner. She surprised me this year by keeping up quite well with the World Cup (soccer), especially when Germany was playing!

My brother BRUCE has been senior pastor of First Baptist Church, Dade City, Florida (near Tampa) for over 4 great years! Bruce was the head of the Pastor's Conference for the Florida Baptists this year. He is one of the most ingenious and fun people I know! We will be taking some vacation time together this year with my parents in Maine, eating lots of lobster!

DAD (Waylon) is still my favorite speaker and Bible teacher! I am apparently not alone in that assessment! He just returned from Japan speaking on the topic of mentoring to missionaries. Before that he was invited to speak in Venezuela and Cuba this year. No wonder that the name "Waylon" means "traveler"! Living God's Word (LifeWay Press), which Dad authored, continues to be used widely by groups. For information about his workshops and publications:
