We first attended the Winter Bible Seminar at Rhema Bible Church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma in 1992. The 2010 meetings were our 17th time to be there. We missed the 1993 meetings because we were at the Get Acquainted Weekend that spring.

Jay DePalmo was a classmate of Paul at Rhema. He is district manager of Hobby Lobby in the Atlanta area. Jay preached on "Conquering The Promised Land" on Feb. 10 at New Life Church before leaving Georgia. Great sermon Jay. You folks need to get the CD.

Loretta Merideth of Mississippi was in the Class of 1998 with us.


Oscar Rivera, Andralid and daughters. Oscar was an usher at Rhema Bible Church with me in 1998. Oscar and Andralid minister in more than twenty prisons in the Tulsa area. Oscar travels to Mexico and South American on mission trips. His excitement about the Gospel of Jesus Christ is contageous. They have been invited to speak here in Danville and we hope to have them soon. Stay tuned.

We returned to Virginia on Interstate 40 through Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, and Bristol. We took state roads from Interstate 77 at Hillsville. The roads were clear but there was deep snow left on sides of the road. Here are some shots from the car.
