I’m just a Kentucky country boy. Nothing more, nothing less. The only difference I Have is Christ living inside me. I accepted Christ at the young age of 6 at home in my mother’s lap. I guess my parents saw I was under conviction. They called our Pastor, Reverend Raymond Ward. They didn’t want to take a chance on waiting till Sunday. There was no doubt that the love of Christ came into my heart. He has always been with me, but I have not always walked with him. I always, as a kid, loved radios and taking them apart. Thus my interest developed in Amateur Radio. My mentor was my Uncle Hansford Scott W4NGZ. Having been born into a Funeral Home Family I was carrying flowers at an early age for my father. Not interested in the funeral business, I pursued another career. Developing a love for airplanes watching Sky King and Penny on the Shy King Show I decided to choose an aviation career. After receiving my private pilot’s license during my senior year in high school, I chose to attend Arizona State University majoring in Aeronautical Technology, After graduating, being employed by Boeing or Lockheed. My father was trying to operate his small Funeral Business back home in Kentucky, plus operate an ambulance service by himself. My conscience told me I should help him. I have been in the Funeral Business ever since. There have been many ups and downs, but Jesus leveled them all. To put a long story short. Suppose you could see where Jesus brought me from to where I am today. You would know why I love Him so much and want to serve him every day. I am currently going through a spiritual revival through the mentorship of the devoted members of the Bible Fellowship Net on 80 meters. I pray everyone can find the living Christ I have found that provides eternal life and more abundant life here on earth. Joshua 1:5 No one can stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Mark Waldrop KE4WA Knowing I was going to be in an HOA when I retired to South Carolina from Arizona. I gave my radio equipment to the local ham club for any youngsters needing help. If my testimony is too long. Drop everything except the first and last paragraphs. Thanks Mark
