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. "

" 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…"

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.…"

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.

Hi Ric
Great to hear from you! You were always an island of good cheer and humor. Glad to hear you're overcoming your medical problems. Your memory can't be any worse than mine. I believe I've had brain-damage since I was a teen-ager (maybe). Memory is over-rated anyway. Love your music! Great tunes. Computers are great! I record music as Jethro Tooth for some of my videos see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW79apqbc0w.
Bless you! Look forward to hearing more about your life.

Hey, Ric. Yeah, grammatically correct! Well this should be an uplifting place to check in....I've just discovered it, and hopefully will be saying hi to long-lost friends.
How are you? Sounding positive on your profile. You should make a note that you have two awesome sons....:]
take care.

Ric,

Ric, thank you for your note. It has been a long time!
Jim and I are doing great. The Lord has continually blessed us beyond our belief. After many years of trying to have a baby, God gave us two boys at one time. Madison and James(identical twins) are almost 15. They are tennis players and we travel all over the Southeast. Next, Louisa Lake is 12(looks and acts like me) is involved with most sports and is my fashion director of the house. Then there is our precious Kate. She is 9 and the smartest thing I have ever seen. She has a heart of gold and is just full of surprises. She lives life outside of the 9 dots. She has already shot her first dear when she was 8 and now is taking Chinese lessions. Jim and I work hard and play hard. Jim is running a pulmonary practice here in Savannah and has a Sleep medicine practice which has 6 sleep labs all over our area. I have a durable medical business with 4 locations. Plus I help Jim with his physician recruitment for his Corp. We love to hunt and fish when we are not working. We are hoping to go to South Africa in the Spring to hunt on a Safari. We own about 1000 acres over in SC (right over the GA border) that we hunt everything from deer, turkey, dove and quail. In fact, I have to go. I need to be over there in a few minutes. I loved hearing from you and if and when we play tennis near you, I will let you know.
Love to you,
Lake

I am not a Baptist Minister or even a member of the church, but the pastor and I have an excellent built over the past ten years and when we started attending a couple of years after closing down our own church (at the Lord'sbidding) in 2006 he has begun to use me in many ways. One is to bring the holy spirit into the lives of the congregation. He says that he has the biblical understanding but I have the anointing to see it through. We tag team on a lot of different things including Tabernacle of David style worship called Open Heavens, which I get to help facilitate once every month. My ordination credentials come out of Liberating Ministries for Christ Intl that Dr Dale Sides (6th Corps) oversees
Shalom,
D

By the way, God through Jesus can still turn those fat cells into grey matter with all the right coding et al.

Who is Victoria of which you are the secret? Vwery clever play on words.

How religious were we? Told to go out of the nine dots but remain in them. So let the water dribble. When I teach in the Baptist Church, I poke fun at their doctrines and beliefs to get them to think outside of the dictates of the denomination and move on to be led by the spirit of God. Sometimes we need to be woken up out of the slumber of our own belief patterns which cause to remain instead of moving on towards the glory.

Of course that dribbling might just have practicing for old age...

By the way, I was intrigued to see the addition on your About Me. If they took those tumors out, what took its place and filled the void. When I am remnded to pray for you, I am going to envision that space being filled with "new" matter complete with the heavenly downloads and more. Only He can do it through Christ Jesus our Lord. HalleluJAH!
