It sure does sound as if this is more than a "temporary" assignment...but then the Lord knows the plans He has made for us before we do. It is wonderful that there is such an abundance of food from the businesses in Tuscon to be able to feed so many on Fridays, and the idea of a Friday afternoon church service to reach those uncharted souls is a wonderful idea! The once a month food give-away is a wonderful outreach too! We have here in Bluefield, WV, The Union Gospel Mission that has done so much for our community. And there is one called "Tender Mercies" in Princeton, WV that helps many others. What would we do without them....especially in these times of higher gasoline and heating/cooling costs? I know that Rick is attempting to steer us to our genealogy, so I would like to share with you that I found out last night while doing some research, that I am a descendant of William Tyndale, through his sister, Margaret who married Dr. Rowland Taylor, also a Christian Martyr. I have been reading that William Tyndale has been overlooked by so much of the historical community in failing to recognize the phenomonal contribution that he made in translating the Bible into English. I learned that the phrase, "Let There Be Light" was his, along with many others that we know today. Rowland Taylor was the third person to be martyred during the reign of Queen "Bloody" Mary. Through this line, also descends President Zachery Taylor, a brother to my ancestor. My line descends to one Katherine Taylor who married Hezekiah H. Brooks on my mother's side. We really never know what we will find in doing our genealogy search!! I have been intrigued with what I have found....I have The Tyndales and Taylors who were Protestants, and then the Radclyffes who were supportive of The Catholic Scottish Dynasty, and the Claypools who married into the family of Oliver Cromwell! All an interesting mix! And I must not foget the many Quakers in my family, among those, The Claypools. One of my Claypools also married the daughter of Oliver Cromwell, and one married Elizabeth Griscom, aka Betsy Ross. She was excommunicated from The Quaker Church. I eagerly continue my search to discover my past ancestors, and as the writing today said, It is my desire to put flesh on their bones so that I may know them better. Indeed, they have a story to tell!!!! And I know that my search has been "God driven and directed". God bless you and your church! And your volunteer work with The Disabled Vets!!
