We have been incredibly busy this month with family gatherings. The first weekend in May we traveled to the Baytown, Texas, area to celebrate the 60th wedding anniversary of David's parents. Jake and Margaret have spent their lives serving the Lord and are an inspiration to us. In the late sixties Jake left his job in Baytown with Exxon and their family moved to Rochester, New York, with the Exodus movement. They stayed there working with the Southside congregation until 1981. Then Jake and Margaret moved to Searcy where Jake studied in the Christian Communications Program at Harding for two years. After graduation Jake spent the next ten years preaching for congregations in Arkansas.
The reception for Jake and Margaret was a wonderful reunion time as they were able to visit with many friends and relatives. Remarkably, many of the original wedding party were at the reception, including the flower girl, ring bearer, all the groomsmen, and all but one of the bridesmaids.
It was a joy to celebrate this occasion with them.
