Don't Count The Years . . . Count The Memories!

"Don't count the years . . . count the memories." At age 92, that word

of advice from the well known author, "Anonymous," has real meaning

for me. I have had a lifetime of varied experiences, here in America and

throughout the world. Before I quit traveling, I had completed 47 round

the world trips, and had visited almost 100 countries, living and working

for extended periods of time in several of them. I have been a professor

in a liberal arts college and a theological seminary. I have worked as a

journalist and a newscaster. I have been involved in government as a state

and federal lobbyist. I was Billy Graham's first director of crusade planning

and organization, and his first director of public relations. In recent years,

due to physical limitations, I have utilized my editorial abilities to serve

the Christian Church which Jesus established, by helping Christians to

understand all that their faith involves, with a special emphasis on fulfilling

the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to preach and teach throughout the

whole world, and to be what Jesus directed us to be: salt and light in the

world. Among the things which I can share with others are some memories

which keep coming to mind as the days and years move inexorably along,

and in the words of a familiar song, "dwindle down to a precious few."

Enjoy some memories with me.
