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.

Hey Ric! Thanks for liking the short piece on The Manifestation of the Spirit. Hopefully, there will be others that will pursue researching the subject on their own and help us all understand what Paul is really communicating concerning the "evidence" of THE spirit. Then, we can perfect our practice of our collective inner (esoteric) man.
Rick, sorry I must've not seen this note or Something, good to hear from you!
I'm wondering about your comment-" fresh air" do you remember what you meant by that?
Hi Ric, It is great to see all your b-day wishes to old corps mates. Good on u!.
Mine just passed Feb 8th. Turned 59. Whew made it this far. Ha!
I drop by this sight regularly. Check out my discussions. Love to hear your thoughts.
See ya.
Rick...I'm surprised you trash DaVinci Code...Dan Brown's book was pretty awesome and I felt it had more truth than fiction. The movie wasn't as good, but that's typical of movie/books. What struck you about the movie?
Thanks for the encouragement.
Blessed Wishes
Thanks brother. that sounds better than saying - another year older... ye ha
Hi Ric good to hear from you thanks for the birthday wish it was my birthday (Eddie) God bless you have a great day
Ric. I'm sorry I do not have a copy, But I'm sure Ted Ferrell does. You can contact him on this site or the face book site. Bless you brother, hope all thing are good with you. DB.
Hey Rick. No bother. The birthday postings are still there on the main page as always. They were just moved around a little because I wanted to add members who last visited in a prominent place. Look for birthdays on the right hand side about a quarter way down the page. It says "Birthdays Today"
Thanks, Rick. I'm never retiring! If I'm not working I'll be building something, volunteering, doing art, writing,...whatever. I never expected my parents to live to 93 & 84, but they're retired now and bored to tears. Life is all about taking care of them now, and the incredible life I have with my partner of 9 years. "I'd rather be ashes than dust." I refuse to rot. I'm going to try my hardest to go out in a burning flame! All the best to you! Tommy
