Life
Somehow I ended up in Texas, moving to Abilene in 1998. I taught theology and philosophy at Hardin-Simmons University, especially as a part of a new divinity school.

I taught at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, for fourteen years and left behind a lot of basketball. I'm still trying to get into the craze for football here.

I took it, so Beth and I moved in with our daughter and grandkids! We built a house together, and it has actually worked out well. It has been a blessing to be with the grandkids and their friends during their high school years. I still teach for Hardin-Simmons half-time and at some other places here and there. I hope to keep teaching as long as my mind works! (smile) I'm still trying to understand God, but it's a tall order.
