New from Colorado

[Chili1955]

Hi fellow Christians
I just recently retired so I have time to be an active member. I was raised in Deep South, then lived in Southern Cal for 47 years , in Colorado for 5 years.
I was taught Landmark but no longer believe much of it.
I am interested in Baptist History and Missions. I would like to get involved in Muslim friendship to show love of Christ. Denver has huge Muslim population.

Sincerely Jeff

Welcome to the BB Jeff. Lots of folks knowledgeable with Baptist History and Missions on board here. All you need do is not be bashful and start a thread or two.

To Mr Tyndale. My family came to Southeast Los Angeles County in 1968. Compton then to Norwalk.I went to Norwalk High. My wife and I lived the past 20 years in Long Beach CA. My wife got real scared in Long Beach due to a racial situation (white people were being attacked because of their race.Of course the mainstream media is not interested in that) and we moved to Colorado where I worked in the public School system in Special Ed.

Jeff, welcome to the Baptist Board. I hope you find it a blessing. Come on down to the Baptist History forum. We have a few recent posts there dealing with some Baptist history in the South, not the Deep South, but the edge of it, in East Texas.

You born in 1955? I'm 54 vintage...

I'm a bit younger than Glen ( Tyndale1946 ) by about 20 years and wasn't a Marine.
I did a stint as an Aviation Electrician's Mate in Uncle Sam's Navy at Miramar in San Diego.

I live in Illinois, now.

I'm not that familiar with your old neck of the woods, but I've been near there...
A flight through LAX a time or two and a visit to the Carl's Junior in Chino was as close I ever got ...
Still, I never did make the drive in on the ground to Long Beach during the late 80's, because I didn't want to brave the traffic.

Sorry about Long Beach...
I hear that area has been difficult for a long time now, especially Compton.

Welcome to the BB, Jeff.
