On Friday, August 7, 1970, I was blessed to be united in marriage with Glenda Kaye Parnell. Glenda was the daughter of Reverend D.L. and Edna Parnell. She had spent the past 5 years in evangelism traveling with her parents. She is the mother of three precious children, Shane, Tanja, and Jimmy, and the grandmother of nine beautiful grandchildren, Alex, Nick, Jaxson, Jake, Juliet, Chris, Tripp, Johnny, and Madellyn. She is a talented musician, and an anointed handmaiden of the Lord. She has been faithful to me throughout these years, assisting me, encouraging me, and loving me! I could never imagine life without her. I love her today more than I could have ever thought on that hot August evening in Paducah, KY!
Babe, you still light up my life! Thank you for 39 years!

I Can't Believe It Has Been So Long!

It has been so long since I have posted here, I had almost forgotten how to do it! But this week is a great week for me.

Thirty nine years ago this evening, I left a revival in McAlister, OK to return to Paducah, KY to marry my beautiful wife! I was traveling with D.L and Edna Parnell, and with Glenda, conducting tent revivals during the summer of 1970. Glenda and I left after church on Monday evening, driving to Paducah. It was a memorable journey. Then on Friday evening, Glenda became my wife! WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW! What a difference she made in my life!

Thirty nine years, three children, nine grandchildren later, I love her more today than I did then! She is the sunshine of my heart!
