    Greetings from the Great State of Texas. More specifically, Pearland, Texas.

    I am not a native Texan. I grew up in beautiful Southern California. Left there when I entered the military and they sent me to Okinawa.

    Don't want to go back because CA is infested with liberals and environmental wackos! (Not to mention I do not want to pay $500,000.00 for a shack.)

    We are members of Southview Baptist Church. We associate with the SBTC, and the Gulf Coast Baptist Association.

    I started my Bible training at California Baptist College and finished my degree with a small conservative, non denominational seminary.

    I won't say when I attended CBC, but I wore white platform shoes, double knit leisure suits, and wide ties.:eek:

    I am a former pastor (BMA and SBC) and now drive an eighteen wheeler. I found truckers are easier to live with than deacons!:laugh:

    I may not post allot, but I enjoy reading folks opinions on various subjects.

    God bless,

    Gary

    Welcome to the BB, Gary. The Air Force put me in CA for nine months in 1970, and I wasn't too impressed with the state. I love Florida though.

    From the posts I have read, I value two members the highest:

    RevMitchell and Dr. Bob

    Sure glad to meet you, if you ever get up here to the Salt City, be sure to ask for drive 108 when you call for a taxi:thumbs:

    Welcome to the board. When did you attend CBC? Did you know the Quattlebaums?
