Q7: I haave a question for Gordon: "When can I quit?"

I can still hear Gordon tell new youth majors, "If you've been callled to work with youth dont use it as a stepping stone. But, he never gave a time line. You know, Methuseleh lived only 883 years more than I have and I'm wondering when is too old?

While I claim to be an "at home mom" while my children were growing up I did add a few places of employment, all sandwiched in with working with youth for over 50 years; such as secretary at a savings and loan , Meteorologist, civilian in the air force, 12 years as Camp Director for Blind Campers, Secretry to a Genealogist, Bridal Shop, Dean of Girls, 10 years as 4-H Leader, 12 years as Camp Fire Girls Leader.
Maybe there is no time line. Hang in there Gordon -- you have many years to catch up with me and the kids need you.

You were a very special influence in my children's lives.

Q7: I surrendered to full time youth ministry after hearing Gordon preach in the old Pate chapel at a Youth conference in the spring of 1973. Little did I know that youth ministry would be invested at Liberty University.

"It is a sin to bore young people with the Word of God."
"It is a shame to offend young people with your breath." I carry a box of altoids with me, to this day. :+)
There are soooooo many more but I will leave it with those two.

Q8: Ministry is my life. Ministry before God to my family, my church and my work.

Q9: So many adventures, so little space.

I passed through an incredibly deep valley of depression in my mid 30's, during which time I came to know God, His Son and the comfort of His Holy Spirit in unimaginable ways. Wouldn't trade the experience for anything, wouldn't want to go back, ever.

Working with and getting to know Dr. Falwell and his giant heart for people impacted my life forever. His influence and stamp are still all over this mountain to this day.

Working Scaremare for a number of years taught me the value of hard work and the joy of investing in eternity.

Q10: Thank you Gordon, Dennis, Roscoe and all the Youth Aflame peeps out there. I may not have known each of you personally but being in this family is special!
