Dale's Story
Graduated from Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, in 1979, majoring in Religious Education and minoring in Speech Communication. Met and married my sweetheart of 32 years and lived in New Zealand during much of the 80s doing mission work. We have two wonderful Christian daughters who are married to faithful Christian men. No grandchildren yet. Both our girls graduated from our Alma Mater, Lipscomb University, and they and their husbands live in Nashville. For twenty years from 1989-2009, I preached part-time while working full time, bouncing back and forth between manufacturing and sales. In January 2010, I became full time in missionary work once again, living in Franklin, KY, while traveling 6-8 months of the year out of the country, mostly in Guyana and the Philippines.
I'm a health nut, eating well, working out and generally focusing on whatever keeps me young. This is necessary as the overseas travel and food consumed requires a body to be pretty fit.
Main focus for us in life...Expand for more
is living for God, glorifying Him, and trying to take as many as we can to heaven with us. After all, this life and it's purpose is all about preparing for the next.
Hard to believe it's been nearly 40 years since graduation. I would not be remembered by many, as I was just one of those anonymous faces in the crowd who, because of my shyness and inferiority complex, didn't get all that involved. Wish I had, but I loved West High and being around it during the early 70s. I was extremely immature and not very well liked at times due to my inferiority complex. It tends to make you say things that you later regret. I've since learned long ago that God can work wonders with the worst of people. I am evidence of that. I don't take the credit...I give Him the glory.
God bless each of you in whatever endeavor you work and serve in this life.
