I have had three somewhat successful vegetable gardens in my lifetime. The first one was while I was a seminary student in Ft. Worth, Texas. I had two large plots of plowed up ground in the backyard of the house we were renting. The second was when I was the pastor of my first church, about ten miles outside of the community of Crawford, Texas. It, too, was while I was a student in seminary. And the third was while I was pastoring a small country church in Neches, Texas. I had graduated from seminary, but this “farming stuff” was still new to me.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the surprise party on Sunday, Aug. 18, celebrating my 85th birthday, which was on Aug. 24. I am deeply touched by the number of friends who came, and I’m grateful for your love and kindness.
