I am a semi-retired minister currently driving a truck with my wife of 30+ years. I became a Christian as a teen and began preaching immeditely. I went into the Navy and did 2 tours to Vietnam, which contributed to me backsliding into just about every form of debauchery there is. I struggled with my addictions, primarily sex and drugs, but was unable to overcome them. I received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and was delivered from those addictions. The Lord called me to prepare for the ministry so I went to Bible College and never looked back. I was an Evangelist for over 20 years and a Pastor for nearly 10 years. I also did some mission work in Mexico. I was getting burned out from the pressures of running a church and school, so I decided to retire from Pastoring and drive a truck. My wife and I have been blessed to be able to see so much of this great country of ours and Canada and being able to share the Gospel whenever we're able.

I'd like to meet

Anyone who is honest, likes honesty, objective(do not like closed minded people), friendly, caring, and loves life. No pessimists or haters, please. I have low tolerance for dishonesty and those who hate. I have been treated very negatively by many who dislike Christianity and have never even tried to listen to reason and be objective(closed minded haters). I love conversing with true seekers who are honest and objective and I am always willing to listen to anyone's point of view if they are willing to listen to mine.

Hello Tex!
I'm from up on the Texas Oklahoma border. Sherman/Denison area. The plane is the A-10 Warthog. Also known as the "Tank Buster" because the cannon on the front tends to shred the tanks it fires upon.

Welcome to Soda Head!

Are you with a specific carrier? My son drives for Super Service.

Thank you so much for the add invite. I LOVE your profile. My son is a minister as well as a Theology professor. The ministery is new to him and he was just assigned his first church. He is very excited about it. :)

Men's minds are like compartments and they can only access one at a time and their favorite box to hang out in is the empty one where they do not have to think about anything and this drives women crazy because when they ask a man what he is thinking about and he says nothing, he means it, but they can't stand it and do not believe it.

Womens minds are more like a bunch of balled up wires all intermingled and crisscrossing each other, so they are able to juggle several thoughts at the same time, like thinking about work, kids, dinner, husband, favorite TV show, and a spot on her dress all at the same time, which is why men have learned to never ask a woman what she is thinking.
