Part one: Brief History
I am in Trivandrum, a southern city in India.M Y party and I have been speaking at the Logos Theological College to the students there. They sit on wooden benches with no back and listen to the speakers speak for an hour. Mostly young people between ages 18-22.
Tomorrow is their first graduating service. Should be wonderful. Life in Trivandrum is different than Hyderabad. It is a cleaner city and probably more educated people live here. I have an appointment in 9 minutes--more later.
We spent half of the day in Joy Children's home. I showed the kids my iPod and fam pic. They thought it was pretty cool. I thaught the kids how to "high five," and they all wanted to "high five" me when I left. Got some great pix.
I sat in on the board meeting with Jim Geurink. It went well and from my perspecitve, I hought Mr Geurink was encouraged by it.
We had homemade curry everything for dinner tonight. It was delicious, I thougth. Our hostess, Subashini, said this is spicy, but I found it rather good.
We travel tomorrow to Trivandrum and I speak there tomorrow night.
Sorry this is poorly written, I'm about half asleep and suffering from jet lag.
No, I didn't drink the water. . . .
Jim Book resigned on January 1, 2006 from the deacon board at Central Baptist Church in Hobart after 37 years as a deacon. He served as a deacon through four pastors--Pastor Don Jennings, Pastor Dale Fisher, Dr. Clayton Nuttall, and presently Pastor David R. Webb. Jim taught the high school boys Sunday School class for many years. He also worked on Sunday afternoons at the local jail ministry. He played on the church basketball team, and was the ace of the Central softball pitching staff in the mid seventies. He once even pitched a no-hitter! Jim was active in WW II as a flight instructor, teaching pilots how to fly B-25s. His best work, however, was serving Christ's church as a deacon. Always serving his care group, always loyal, always praying for his pastors: these symbolize Jim Book's years at Central as deacon. Sunday January 29th, 2006 Central honored Jim and Doris, his wife of 55 years, with a certificate and a dinner with them as the guests of honor. Greetings can be sent to DJgolfbook@msn.com Pictured is Deacon Chairman Lou Dubach presenting the award to Jim and Doris Book.
