Torger's Story
Life
My Spouse
We were working the graveyard shift at Iowa State University as custodians. We met cleaning up classrooms after the late spring flood of 1975 in Ames, Iowa. On November 26, we celebrate 33 years of marriage. Praise the Lord!!! We currently live about 3 miles west of Cass Lake, MN on a couple of acres that run along US Highway 2. We over look Little Wolf Lake. This home is on the property that once belonged to my parents. We purchased it to build a retirement home, but have arrived here sooner than we anticipated. It's a long story. If interested in the details, just ask.
My Pets
We now have a dog named Zee Bee. She is a mixed breed we got from the Beltrami County Humane Society. She is a rez dog, born on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, on which we live.
My Kids
The oldest is Colette, my step daughter. She lives in Garner, Iowa with her husband, Kevin. She has 5 kids: 1) Paul, who lives in Stratford, IA, and works two jobs, one in Boone, the other in Webster City; 2) April, who is married to Matt and has two of our great-grandkis, Jasmin and Curtis, and they all live in Fort Dodge, IA; 3)Mysti, with her husband Al, lives in Garner, IA, and has our two other great-grandkids,Alexis and Hunter, (both Jasmin and Alexis are now in school); 4) Adam, who lives at home and attends classes at North Iowa Community College in Mason City; 5) Nicole, who is now a senior at Garner- Hayfield high school, with plans of grad...Expand for more
uating in the spring of 2010.
Lee, my step-son, is a supervisor for the Union Pacific RR working primarily out of Nebraska,but now out of Washington state for the winter, so he travels alot. He is married to Heather and they live just outside of Cheyenne, WY.
Samuel, our son, is married to Melissa and they live in West Des Moines, Iowa. He is working for ADP, helping customers by phone, with insurance policy questions.
Carrie , our dqaughter, lives in Bemidji at an adult foster home and works at DAC. She is doing great there.
My Job
I spend about 40 hours a week working at Ace on the Lake hardware store in Bemidji, MN, as the current head of the electical and the housewares departments. I'm learning the retail busioness, and it is quite different than teaching and preaching. I preach at Mokahum Chapel on Sunday mornings; it's about 4 miles from where we live. May thru October, I also preach at an earlier service in the Christian and Missionary Alliance church in Bena, MN, about 25 miles from our home.
Many years ago when my life was a wreck, when I knew nothing but darkness, at a time when I wanted to end it all, God spoke to me that He had "a better way" for me. It took a couple of years for me to realize that better way is Jesus Christ, the living Son of God, my Savior and Lord. By God's grace I am here today and have been serving Him for over 30 years! Praise the Lord!
