My father was a GP and there most certainly was wealth in the family but money doesn’t buy ‘happiness’ and family life was ‘hell on earth’ for much of my upbringing. Two near death experiences, followed by being sent to boarding schools from age 5 to 10, didn’t help. My father left the family home around 1956 and divorce followed and my mother was addicted to alcohol so my siblings and I all suffered some rejection. I went out to work at 15 and was married, with a daughter, when 18. Years later I had a son and now have one granddaughter and three great grandchildren. I am analytical, a people person and like admin. Some of my life experience includes being in the RAF, being a Baptist Pastor, working on British Rail etc. Sometimes my health would fail and life was not easy. I have tasted both wealth and poverty, spouse bereavement, divorce and being a ‘one parent family’ for a season. In my search for the meaning of life from 1961 to ’68 I made a positive and real commitment to follow the Messiah Saviour, as a believer, in a close heart relationship and ever since have been sold out for Father God and His Kingdom, not in religion and legalism but in a love relationship of freedom and fun.view less
