RANDOM OBSERVATIONS
Our oldest son, Adam, celebrated his birthday January 22nd. But that day holds a special significance to
me for more than just the fact of Adam’s birthday. You see, that day also happens to be the anniversary date for
Roe v. Wade, the famous case in which the Supreme Court legalized abortion in this country. So, every January
22nd, I thank God for the blessed fact Adam’s natural mother chose to give birth to him instead of aborting him.
Because of her courage and selflessness she gifted Carol and me with an adopted son. She chose life over death,
and I will always be grateful for her choice.
We are beginning a new
feature highlighting the talents and
contributions of some of
the wonderful volunteers we have
here in the Fort Gibson family.
I received word the other day of the passing of Helen Wilson down in Sherman, Texas. She, along with
her husband Carroll, were spiritual grandparents to our children while they were growing up in Portales. They
faithfully helped Carol during worship times and baby sat again and again for us. Words cannot express how much
their love and help meant to us during the days we had four children under the age of four. If you’re older and
you see a young mother struggling to keep up with her children, you cannot imagine the blessing you represent
by helping her out. We will always be in Carroll and Helen’s debt.
As Randy Branscum pointed out a couple of weeks ago in our Sunday morning service, we are blessed by
faithful men who have served this congregation as elders for many years. Two of our present elders, Budo Perry
and Jerry Walker, began their service twenty five years ago. That kind of dedication and sacrifice should never
be taken for granted. When you have opportunity, please let those two men, and Sue and Noveta as well, know
of your appreciation for their long years of service.
Finally, we are truly blessed to have men among us with the willingness and equipment to clean off our
parking lots and sidewalks after the blizzard of 2011. Many churches were unable to meet because their parking
lots were impassable. Because of the hard work on Saturday of Steve Cook, Gary Cook, Louie Mosteller, Doyle
Kelley, Johnny Kerns, and John Burdine, that was not the case here. Many thanks to these men for making our
worship together Sunday morning possible.
