About Me

Living in NC. Married Charlene (Little) in 1978. She is a RN. We have raised 2 girls and 1 boy who are all out of the house. We left "TWI" (short for The Way International) in 1982 not long after the Way Corp year we spent at Rome City IN. The leadership gave us a rough time. To make a long story short, we were tired of having to deal with Dr. Wierwille and Howard Allens adulterous practices. Once we left, they "marked and avoided" us and made up stories about why we left. It was the best thing for us. I went back to school for electronics in Tucson, AZ. Then we moved to Raleigh NC to be closer to Charlene's family and find a better job market. Charlene went back to school to be a school teacher but did not enjoy it at all. She then got her nursing degree. She now works for the government regulating nursing homes. I am a product specialist for Schneider Electric. We've raised our three children and they have all moved out of the house now so it is just Charlene and me. We are so in love. Six years ago I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The docs gave me 3 to 6 months to live without treatment. With treatment they gave me a 20% chance to live past 5 years. I took the treatment (chemo, radiation then surgery). Once I recovered from the surgery I began walking to build up strenght. After a year I began running. A friend of mine encouraged me to begin triathlon training. I did. I have been participating in triathlons for the past several years. I made it past the 5 years and I expect to live a long time. I really have to give the credit all to God and His Word. Charlene and I confess His Word into being every chance we get.

My Interests

Studying the Bible with Charlene. Participate in triathalon racing (swim, bike and run), play guitar and sing, backpacking the smoky mountains, snorkeling and mountain biking. Charlene and I love to travel to the caribbean islands. We also like to cruise. Reading and politics.

Employment or Career

Electronics - I am a product specialist with Schneider-Electric.

Music I Like

Gospel Bluegrass - III Tyme Out, Nickle Creek, Ricky Skaggs, Allison Krause. Classic Rock

Books I Like

The Bible (of course). The Fair Tax Book (must read).

Sports Teams I like

Kansas Jayhawks, NC Tarheels, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys

Merry Christmas, John and Charlene!

Thank you for commenting on my prayer blog last month. It is so awesome to hear from you two, and that you have survived life to tell about it! We sure had some crazy experiences together, didn't we? But, here we are.

Terry and I are RVing eastward this new year, so we will try to aim your way!

Love to you both!

Wow John you look great. I've kept up the exercise routine thru out the years to keep the stress of work reduced somewhat. I sold Yellow Page Advertising for AT&T which was originally Southwestern Bell. My husband had the illness scare this year and he is riding his bike. God Bless!

I remember you back in 72-73 as a roving WOW in Ohio. You would visit our twig there in Kent and in Barberton.

God bless you!

Dear John and Charlene,
Great to see your page! Do you remember where you were 29 years ago today? You were conducting the wedding ceremony of Charlie and Carol Johnston. Just wanted to let you know that it "took" real good!!
John, get a copy of my book, it will bless you. Go to www.nosuchthingasluck.com. Great to read your page. What a fighter you are, John. Praise God for your wonderful hearts of believing and trusting our Heavenly Father. Love, Charlie and Carol

Hi John,

Don't know if you remember Catherine and me, but when you were in GA in 1975/76 we were in Athens. We had a great time that year and the summer outreach program the next year.

I just read your page here. I too have been through a cancer issue. It is quite life changing isn't it - I tell people that it is one of the best things that ever happened to me.... because it is. Of the 6 people I knew (aquaintances, neighbors, friends, etc) going through cancer treatments, surgery, etc. the same time as I, only 2 of us made it. And I am the only one without a re-occurance at this point -

It is staggering sometimes - just staggering to consider that you and I have been given a whole chance for a future that so many never get who were in our situation. Humbling.

Bless you, John.
