A copy of The Nephilim is en route. Let me know what you think when you've read it. Imagine living 5 miles from HQ? It all happened so long ago now, and so much has happened with us since...Someone said once, the past is a foreign country. But I have to say, I feel free. And I have done for years now having swung all over the place for some years in between. But I do have some great memories of good times while in the Corps.
I see Ruth Rott is writing to you. I must drop her a line. She and her husband we great fun.
Talk soon,
Paddy
PS I don't believe you actually remember that play? All I can remember is the crowd laughing when I walked on looking like an Irish version of Shaft...
We live in Germany. I teach violin and English part time. Friedrich teaches violin full time and we both still get to play off and on in classical settings.
Martin, 24, is married, has two kids 4 and 9 months, and studies at 2 universities in Mannheim: major drums and minors: piano, arranging, production. He has a brilliant CD but its in German! His wife is from Russia and is a singer.
Wish I could get Maureen´s address. Someone said they´d send it but didn´t. Would really like to thank her for loving me when I needed it most.
We´ve done about everthing there is to do in the Christian scene in Germany and now get to serve in a church the size of a fat Twig. Friedrich pays violin. Man, you should hear him improvise - and I preach and teach more and more. Women and Bible has not been allowed here for so long but the ice is melting and I´m privileged to do my tiny part.
Anita is 21 and is learning woodworking. Sarah is 18 and finishing the 13th grade, our version of high school. David is in the 9th grade and a budding film maker. Hannah is 11 and sings---all day long.
When I do children and youth groups, I´ve developed a film project thing. They come up with a story, script and p´lan together and then they get to do the things they do best. I teach them the related subjects from the Bible and it goes over really well. God gave me the idea one night.
It´s so great to hear from you. Give my love to Ellen.
Ruth
Lovely to hear from you. Yes, a lot of water has gone under the duck since those youthful days. Glad to see you are still involved with drama. I remember my brief foray with you in a play in Emporia. I was supposed to be some sort of back up muscle for you as a gangster. I wore my long leather coat and tried to look meanacing. But it must have appeared to the audience more like, "is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me" for they all burst out laughing when I walked on stage.
So much for my acting carreer. My writing has been a bit more successful. Let me have your address and I'll send you my lates book, The Nephilim, it is radical and will bless you. And of course it contradicts a lot of what we were taught before. But it's right on the Word and ties things together very well with regard to End Times prophecies.
Put some pics up so we can see what you and your family look like after all these years. If you can't do that, I bet your kids can. I am a dinosaur on the computer so they have to help me out. Love to Ellen. My wife, Catherine, is still with me after all these years.
Good to talk with you again. We have fond memories of you and our time times in the Corps despite the crap that went with it.
God bless,
Paddy
