Our Life Together Vol. 3 Nr. 44, November 18, 1075
Ken continues his series on "Things that make for Peace." This issue is on Trusting God. He expounds on this theme as found in the book of Philippians. His thesis is that we only really have peace when we can really entrust our lives to a loving and caring God. The interrobang brought a number of comments on Facebook. Although many of us (me included) assumed that it was dead -- a fad, evidently it is alive and well even though seldom used. This is a great testimony by Ron Alsop. Wow, God's grace in action. I also assume that Ron did a good job of piloting the aircraft. I remember this well. It was a poignant time for the church and quite traumatic for Ron's wife Judy who had been married to Jim Thomas, our youth director, who was also an amateur pilot who died in a crash in 1972. Ron Alsop's wife Judy presents a delightful story of God's grace as He lead her into peace. It was this peace that sustained her when Ron crashed just two days later. This is a nice letter from one of our young men, Robbie Corley. He was active in our music ministry. I believe that he still lives in Oregon.
I am a semi-retired minister. I am currently pastoring Bay View Baptist Church in Chula Vista, CA. I was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of Chula Vista for 25 years. I started my adult life as a Naval Officer. I served for 15 years and left with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. I hope to share what is happening in my life and the lives of my family. I will also try to relate this to broader issues in our world.
