Ric Cox commented on John Richeson's video

"Gary, you're right. I had a country band for about 6 years and felt my main job was to keep everyone turning down their amp. I've never heard anyone tell even the best bands to turn up. "

Ric Cox commented on John Richeson's video

" ROA 84 was my interim year. I was going to spend it in Bismark, ND as a Twig Area Coordinator. It was that May in 1985 that Dr. died. Everything began changing until finally, it went to hell in a handbasket when POP was read on the last Corps…"

Ric Cox replied to John Richeson's discussion Closing The Way Corps Site

Ric Cox replied to John Richeson's discussion Closing The Way Corps Site

"Matt,
I agree with you. The bond between some of us was like none other. Recently, I went to Denver to visit my son with a Corps brother that wanted to visit a believer. It was quite a road trip. The believer had a car accident and had no car.…"

I was so hungry when I went in the 10th Corps that nothing else mattered. The bond I had with some of my Corps brothers and sisters at the tem was so much deeper than anything I ever had with my earthly family. It meant so much to me to be…"

About Me

It is 2013 and I thought I should update this since it has been seen for about 6 years. In 2002 I changed my name back to my birth name. You will now see me as Richard Barton in any emails and on facebook. I still have more fun than most people. I miss a lot of you. I still speak the Word at every open door though I would not go door to door witnessing unless God was very clear about it. My life is getting to the point that wisdom is the principle thing, but I still search for it. It seems to elude me. I have had some close calls throughout my life. But then, I suppose all of us have had a few. I am ready for (as Jeff Stanley says) part B. I have endured 3 brain surgeries for a benign tumor in my pituitary gland. It was not the best part of my life. But I survived all that in spite of the unbelief around me. I love to tell people I haven't had a bad day in 38 years. Then, explain that while this is true, I have had some HARD days. Perspective is a good thing to have (and a vocabulary). I moved to Comfort, Texas in May of 2013. It is a small town about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio. I have a motorcycle and love to ride in the hill country where there is less traffic and lots of great scenery. The top shelf best part of my life is in the fact that I learned "HOW" to rightly-divide God's Word. This is the biggest thing that distinguished us in the 70's & 80's. It wasn't Athletes or Way Prod or even speaking in tongues. The fire of the Word is still burning for me. It is all I have. Nothing else in this life can touch it. Especially not ego or talent. The Way Corps Poem is still in my blood stream.

My Interests

Still have a passionate interest in the Bible. A little in business and music. But not the music business. .I play guitar and bass and bang chords on the piano. I've developed a keen interest in gold and the economy (that sure looks like it could collapse). There are a lot of believers who think God will meet our needs even in a collapse. I know this is positive believing and all that. But makes me pause and consider Joseph. What if he had taken that position? Egypt would have been hit just as hard as all the other countries. Of course, God will meet our need. Qhy couldn't buying gold now set us up to have our need met?

Employment or Career

medically-retired I was in sales for about 30 years. Sold radio advertising, computers, janitorial supplies. Loved it but never saw the prosperity possible in the highest paid profession. I used the skills learned in the job to develop my witnessing skills. I've gotten pretty good at the art of witnessing. I am planning to build a huge business with gold. If you haven't seen this video, enjoy it. I spent a few years keeping watch on this company and now I am an affiliate. Gold coins are too volitile since they are owned by the government and we are only the bearer. As a seller you have to pay for the proof of its value. But this company has the highest security in the world for proving the purity of it's product. Of course, I believe Corps should have Gold and Guns and everyone is invited to contact me with any inquiries.

Music I Like

Classic Country Texas Country Nashville Envies

Books I Like

Rarely read much of anything but the Bible. My eyes are going dim so I don't have a desire for anything but the Bible now. But when I did, Tom Clancey was my favorite, mostly now, I read the Bible and thats about it. Can't say I'm very cultured.

Television I like

I am mainly interested in movies. Bones is a good show. That is about it. I am starting my own movie collection. I figure I only need about 80-100. I would rather watch movies than television. Too many commercials and cable is a waste of time and money for me.

Movies I like

I would rather watch 20 yr old movies than the new stuff Hollywood markets. I enjoy almost all kinds except thrasher and stupid ones like Pulp Fiction and the Divinci Code. Guess you could say I'm very opiniated about such works. Many of Hollywoods works in the past decade have been a huge disappointment. I would rather watch a movie I've seen a dozen times than to watch some of the crap they've produced. I prefer older movies. Hollywood has called crap art for much too long.

Sports Teams I like

Dallas Cowboys,NE Patiots. Rarely have time to keep up with either. I like the Spurs but basketball is not my favorite sport. The season is much too long and they are so good, it is a bit boring to me.

We have two daughters. Luane and Sydney. Luane just went out Way Disciple this year. We moved up here 2003 and have loved it. Well, except for the snow LOL. Last year we had 116 inches of that crap, but I finally got a nice two stage snow blower. I can clear the drive way in about 45 min now instead of the 2 hours it used to take by hand. As you can guess, I was so happy to get that blower. Yes, I read your bio. Glad to see you doing well. I am going to get Linda signed up here and she will drop you a line too. It is great to see ya bro!
Ricky Brown November 9, 2009 at 7:00pm

Ric, God bless you man. Linda and I are now in Maine as the State Coordinators. Think of you often and have been wonder how you were doing. Good to see you are on here.

Ric - Haven't listened to the songs yet - I think I'm doing well just getting on here and facebook once in awhile and catching up with folks. Technologically challenged. Thanks for the invite - haven't been to Texas since, yes, Lead and everyone says that doesn't count. Who knows? If the Lord tarries I hope to do a little traveling. Right now with three teenagers in the house I'm just trying to keep ahead of the grocery bills! Ha
Leslie Ann (Hall) Taylor November 6, 2009 at 2:48pm

Hey Ric you goofball! How could I ever forget you?? You drove me nuts in all the most wonderful ways ha ha. Hope life is treating you well. God Bless You. This website is awesome and I am so blessed to see everyone and what they're doing. Until Christ returns, here we all are......

I had to laugh out loud over your comment on the shorts Chris wore in residence! I had completely forgotten about those short shorts but truly got a kick in the pants from your memory of them! Believe me, neither he nor I wear any short shorts these days!

Funny you should say that. Greg has mellowed out over the years. too intense, now everyone enjoys the heck out of his humor and getting them to relax. I guess we all realize that balance. Good to hear from you. Lynne
Robert Joseph Vorbach October 2, 2009 at 2:19am

Ric,
Good to hear from you. We have been settled in Nashua for 18 years now. Time sure has moved on. I think of many folks. Call if you want 603-886-1738.

Hey Ric,
I live right down the street from you. Stop by sometime. It would be good to see you. I remember catching a ride with you up to Austin about 30 years ago. You had a little Volkswagon. That's about all I remember. Anyway, give me a call or send me a note. God Bless, Les

Hey Ric,

I don't go to this site too often but I noticed you left me a comment a while back. Great to hear from you and see your face! Glenn and I don't run together anymore. He still runs a lot, but I can't keep up with him any better today than I could in 1979. We do breakfast about once a week and remain best buds.

Do you see and fellowship with Houk and Sheila? Houk and I had a blast together for a couple of weeks in March along with George Cumella, Jean Louie Ricard, Bob Gassman and Sangat Bains. It was like old 10th Corps times.

I'm planning on being down in the Houston area next May for a weekend of God's Word and music. You and your guitar are hopefully going to be there.

If you want to talk, call me at 312-961-6490. In the meantime, I'm doing "shuntas" for you and yours.

God bless you brother.
