Mary White:  

LIFE (As of 2017): I've been happily remarried since Aug. 4, 2005. and am looking forward to many more years together, until the Lord returns for His own. I enjoy ministering with my pastor husband and reaping the blessings from doing so. UPDATE: my dear husband passed at home Sun. pm Feb. 21, 2021, from a massive heart attack, just after his 77th birthday. I know where he is & that I'll reunite with him again, in heaven! I sing at nursing homes regularly; hoping to begin prison ministry as well. I've cut a CD; nothing special, just to see what it was like. I'm very happy ministering to "forgotten" ones in nursing homes, & the pleasure they receive from it is worth more than words can express. I sing in my church & have ministries there as well, & I'm content in my spiritual life cos I know Jesus is my Lord & Saviour & that I'm spending eternity in heaven. I live in northeast Arlington, TX, the Forth Worth/Dallas "halfway" point; I hate the humidity but am apparently here for the duration cos God hasn't moved me elsewhere yet! My sweet mother, who lived with us her last 3 years, died early am on Mar. 12, 2017 - 6 days after turning 85. She went downhill around the holidays late '16, was bedridden all of '17, & was on morphine her last 2 1/2 days to ease her breathing; I never saw her awake again. My mom was Japanese; I'm so proud of my heritage & the stories I heard/things I learned from her. My only sorrow is that I don't think she's in heaven cos - to my knowledge - she never trusted Christ as her Saviour even though she heard the gospel in Japanese, read the Bible in Japanese, & went to a Christian Japanese church a few times. I pray I'll be surprised one day soon to meet her in the air along with key family members! At least I have no regrets: I took care of my mother the best I could on my own, with hospice help, & though she longed for death to release her from long years of life she was happy to know that her only child loved her & personally took care of her in her final years. I love & miss you, my dear little Japanese mommy... I know many of you are also in TX; contact me sometime! It's always good to hear from old friends, especially once you hit the big 6-0 & see how time inevitably marches on. If you're not an old friend, feel free to touch base anyhow & become a new friend! After the current subscription runs out, I'm not renewing my Gold membership, so contact here will no longer be possible. Find me on Facebook under my name or email me at flag dot high at the yahoo! By the way - to clarify Q&A on Pets: I've had all but horses; that's my "wish I had" pet. When you raise 3 boys, you get the frogs, lizards, etc. (The spider was a black widow we had for a while & then gave to the Natural History museum at Fair Park cos theirs had died! And no - I have no plans for a tarantula in my near or distant future. Brrrrr!!!!! NASTY! lol) SCHOOL I've been everywhere: in 12 years of school, attended 13 different schools, & 9th-12th saw me in 3 schools. Wasn't easy being an Arm...Expand for more
