Travis' Resume

"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:"   (Prov. 17:22)
"... the joy of the LORD is your strength."   (Neh. 8:10)

Velta & Travis Case

As B. O. Plenty would tell Dick Tracy, "My life started when I was very young. I was one of seven brothers......" Well, unlike B. O. Plenty, I only had one brother and he is younger than I. It may only be by 12 minutes, but it still give me the right to call him my "kid" brother. Even though he is young, he is a deacon in a Baptist Church and has worked with teenagers for the past 40 years. I am proud of him, but I can still beat him in golf. Like two birds sitting on a wire, we were always switching places and confusing people as to which of us were which. My brother is the one sitting still. I was always the mischievous one getting into trouble. Under my picture in my Senior High Year Book they put: "If school could be all pleasure, he'd take a post graduate course." Well, what can I say, I am guilty. I love and enjoy life.

I have one wife, three daughters, three sons-in-law and six grandkids. All of which are the greatest in the world. I love them all dearly. My wife says that if she had known how much joy grandkids are, she would have had them first. I agree. Hence, the cute little fellow below. My wife is always trying to get me to stop drinking coffee, but I still like it. We have been married for 37 years and if she, or coffee, doesn't kill me, we plan on making it to 50. I enjoy hunting, fishing, bowling, golf, Amateur Radio, and flying. I got my pilots license in 1962 but my wife would never let me sky dive. Neither does she want to fly with me because she is afraid of What Could Happen!   But It Won't.

          

Well, I have never been asked for a resume by any church I have every pastored but the chaplaincy work has required it. I had to look the word up in the dictionary to find out what it was that that they wanted. I thought that it mean to resume what I was doing. At least thats what happened when I pushed the one on my car while driving the expressways. I am also told that since few people on the internet knows me, I needed to include my resume. If you don't have anything better to do and have extra time on your hands, go ahead and read it.

Did anyone see where my ball went. I must have hit it out of sigh.
