"WE ARE NOT ALONE!"
You Might Be A Redneck.....A Different Take
SumatraAbout Me
Raised on a farm in the small town of Dearing, GA. I married, Rosie Norris, a city girl from Augusta, GA, in 1972. We are still together after all these years! I'm the Mental Health Director of a Prison Psychiatric Unit. Not a dull moment! Not what I thought I'd be doing after receiving my Master's Degree from VA TECH, 1976!
While the State of Georgia has really turned me into the quintessential mid-manager, my true Vocational Joy has been in Christian Ministry. As a Southern Baptist Bi-Vocational Minister since 1984, Church became my Sanctuary, especially while serving at my Little Church in the Big Wood. It was like going back in time. Sadly, I had to resign from Hopeful Baptist Church, October 1999, to minister to my parents, Grover & Vera, who both died in 2000. I miss them so very much. They were the BEST! Really took care of Rosie, the kids, and me. While it feels Strange Sitting in the Pew instead of Sharing the GOSPEL from the Pulpit, it was the right decision.
Our real JOY is our children, Ian, 30, and Lauren, age 28. Ian is a Computer Wizard. They both had full Academic Scholarships at ASU. Ian received his B.S. Computer Science, May 2001, with HONORS: SummaCumLaude, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, Hope Scholar, and Highest GPA/Computer Science. Lauren received her B.A. in English, December 2002, as VALEDICTORIAN, to include SmmaCumLaude, Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, Hope Scholar, and Highest GPA/Education. In 2005, she obtained her M.Ed. Always the gifted writer; she graduated from high school as Salutatorian, June 1999. Ian and Lauren both attended WESTMINSTER PREP. It was a major financial sacrifice, but God had burdened our hearts for Christian Education. God Has Richly BLESSED Us! Then, on July 13, 2002, Lauren married her first "real" boyfriend, Billy Burroughs.
Having the Garrison Gift of Gab, I'm staring to Ramble On (Sounds like a Led Zeppelin Song). That's it for now. Oh! One Other Thing: We Can't WAIT for Grandchildren!
Interests:
The UGA BULLDOGS! Cannot beat SEC College Football! While Reading, Movies, & Computering are what I play at, my real interests are Rosie, my wife, Ian, my son, Lauren, my "Princess", and Billy, my son-in-law. But above all else, Faith in Jesus Christ, my Lord & Saviour! Which brings me to CHRISTMAS! I LOVE CHRISTMAS so much that I'm known as "The Christmas Daddy"!My Photos (58)

Oh, and one more thing! I forgot to tell you that we enjoyed "Australia" last night. It was a fun way to spend the evening but I still have to rank "The Man from Snowy River (part one)" and "A Town Like Alice" as my absolute favorite Aussie movies but this one was good too. Thanks for the recommendation!
