 In
case these lines seem to read a little differently, this is Dan,
not Robert. As many of you already know, Robert and Vivian have
gone south for the fall. He will be teaching at Florida College
during this semester and expects to be back in Burnet soon after
December 18.
He
writes, "No, I am not teaching Psycho-Ceramics" (i.e.,
"crack-pots"), but is teaching three classes in
Restoration History, the book of Hebrews, and three epistles of
Paul. He says that he is working hard on assuming his
"professional role" and may even develop to the point
of being able to speak for a full class period without revealing
one bit of usable information.
Along
with his work at the college, Robert says he has already
preached for two other churches (they worship with the Temple
Terrace church), and has invitations for future preaching
appointments in that area. Also says he is intrigued by
opportunities for private or "extra-curricular"
teaching among students and neighbors. For those who may need or
desire his address: 108 Heritage Lane, Apt. T-101 Temple
Terrace, Fl. 33617

Brother
Wilfred E. Stephenson, one of our elders, is presently
recuperating from

recent heart surgery. "Bro. Steve",
as we call him around here, has a "toughness" and
determination about him that has enabled him to weather the
storms of many physical infirmities. When he retired, a dozen or
so years back, it looked as if he may be facing a permanent
retirement from life itself. But he made a remarkable comeback,
just as he did from his five previous major surgeries — and
just as he will from this one.
He
tells me he's living on "borrowed time" and is
thankful to the Lord for allowing him to come this far. He
knows, as we all do, that "the time is shortened" (1
Cor. 7:29). But while he can still "smell the
bouquets", we want him to know, in this public way, of our
deep love and appreciation for him and for his good influence in
the Master's Kingdom, including more than 40 years of faithful
service as an elder. We miss you bro. Steve, and wish you a
speedy comeback!

Another
of our faithful members, bro. Gratus Roe has suffered a serious
heart attack and is convalescing at his home in nearby
Kingsland. Such experiences remind us of the fragility of the
flesh and our need for God. DSS
