Hello

[Terry Robertson]

I have been reading these boards a while and have decided to jump in. It's sometimes hard to find uplifting Christian conversation on the 'net, so I am hoping.

Anyway, I am almost 60, been saved since I was 17, and been in a Baptist Church ever since. I was ordained in '85 and have held some interim positions, but not a full time Pastorate. Still stay at it tho. God will use me how He sees fit.

I am married and have three biological children. When those 3 flew the coop, we adopted 3 more (1 sister/ 2 brothers).. Two are now teens and one is eight. They are the apples of my eye lol.

I am also a college prof at a state U...don't hold it against me...we are not all crazy. Just some. I am active in the Baptist Student Union here, so there is that.

Anyway, that is me. Hope all of you have a great day and am looking forward to positive discussion.

Terry

Yeah, the communication discipline and some others have made strange bedfellows over the years. That is the department I am in.

At a former hospital, a co-worker called me Willbilly as a nickname.

Did my wife send you here?... She's a retired English Professor and you teach speech and rhetoric?... I'm getting a double whammy here... She tells me how to write it and now you slide in here Terry and tell me how to say it... Welcome Terry but I'm going to keep my eyeballs peeled on you... Brother Glen
