Happy Birthday to Sharron!!
I want to be sure and express my love for Sharron. God
brought her into my life when I was a youth pastor at a church in Charlotte,
NC. I had just graduated from college. Sharron had just earned her RN degree
and was recruited by a hospital in Charlotte. It was almost love at first
sight. We began to date within days after meeting and were married five months
later. That was the summer of 1978. God blessed us with twin daughters in
November 1980 as we began our family. We departed Charlotte in 1981 to move to
the Northern Virginia area. Our ministry took us to Marion, IN; Sturgis MI;
Topeka, KS; Raleigh, NC and Gastonia, NC.
In 2018 I changed my category of service with the
Wesleyan Church to Retired Minister. We relocated to Indian Trail, NC to move
into a house owned by our daughter Stephanie and her husband Joshua. We
now live near Danielle and Stephanie and we enjoy seeing our five grandchildren
on a regular basis.
This last year, Sharron and I have gone through situations that have truly deepened our love and commitment to each other. In July 2021, Sharron went through a battery of test including a CAT scan and was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer.
She underwent surgery on August 17th. On October 13th she began a five
day a week for 5 weeks for radiation treatment. At the close of the 25 treatments she “rang
the bell” and was pronounced cancer free! We are thanking God for His
intervention in her life!
This coming June we will celebrate 44 years of marriage.
God has truly blessed us and we are so thankful for our family and the provisions
of God in our life.
