 It
is that time again — time to “take stock” of the past; be
encouraged by the good, and warned by the bad. It is time to
look hopefully to the future — and Christians can do that,
regardless of dire predictions.
Several
years back I published my meeting schedule in the January Plain
Talk, and it seemed to serve a useful purpose, so this has
become a habit. In 1975 I am to be at Taft, Tex. Feb. 23-28;
Spring Branch in Houston, Mar. 17-23; Seminole, Tex. Mar.
30-Apr. 4; Southside, Pasadena, Tex. Apr. 7-13; and Major Drive,
Beaumont, Apr. l4-20. We leave Texas for Scottsville, Ky. May
5-11; and Cyclone, Ky. May 12-18. Then to Gladewater, Tex. June
2.8; and Dam B (Jasper) Tex., July 14-20. We have a meeting in
E. Florence, Ala. Aug. 10-15; and Allen, Tex. Aug. 24-29. The
above is a rather loose schedule, with “open” weeks at
Burnet, for some study, writing, and a Teacher Training course.
The
tight schedule begins at Sinton, Tex. Sept. 21-26; travel on
Saturday to Haltom City, Tex. Sept. 28-Oct. 3; Saturday flight
to Dyersburg, Tenn. for Oct. 5-10; then home to get Vivian and
the car, and head for Armona, Ca. Oct. l9-24; Paso Robles, Ca.
Oct. 26-31; Spring & Delta, Longbeach, Ca. Nov. 2-7;
Fullerton, Ca. Nov. 9-14; and Gardena, Ca. Nov. 16-21. We then
drive to Glendale, Ariz. for a meeting, Nov. 23-30; and then
home to Burnet, Texas.

During
this time we will try to meet our Plain Talk dead-lines, with
seven articles per month. Of course, the secret for getting it
all done is we only do it one day at the time.
STUFF ABOUT THINGS
Our
light-hearted, if not lightheaded, back page is pretty good some
times — and sometimes we should have stayed in bed. But, most
articles are well received, so we selected some of the best (?)
and are publishing them in a small book. It is scheduled to come
from the press this month.
This
is my private project— not a work of Oaks-West church — and
to avoid confusion and / or commercialization in this
church-supported paper, the sale and handling of the book has
been put completely into the hands of the publisher; Graphic
Composition, P. 0. Box 1788, Athens, Ga. 30601. They will
advertise, sell direct, and through various book houses. PLEASE
DO NOT WRITE PLAIN TALK FOR THE BOOK.
If
finances will allow, I hope to publish some more serious works
in the future: on The Church, Men’s Training Studies, etc. A
humbling thought for all this...if God wills.
