A Highway in Arkansas...

Our tape recorder was playing the beautiful Cantata

(we've practically worn the cassette out) "Born to Die."

Inspired and near tears

from its tremendous message (of Jesus love for each of us) and beauty, I was even
more conscious of our Creator and Lord as the sky was bathed in a brilliant sunset.
As we were clicking down the highway there before us was a sign: "MEN WORKING."
Jerry slowed and I immediately caught sight of a huge, gorgeous building! What was
it -- we all asked? In seconds we knew..Sprawled across the front in monstrous letters:
MAYBELLINE. That really struck mel!! First, I realized, this is only one of many such
factories, and only one of many such brart'ds. How concerned mankind is about covering

up blemishes, making over, and being more attractive on the OUTSIDE. But lOfuit about
the. tyiS-icLz? The tape recorder had continued on and the words, "Help me to understand
the love of calvary" pierced me. I cannot understand how mankind can so flippantly
treat our Lord - I cannot understand how time can be given to every organization and
the church struggles - I cannot understand how we use our money for things we WANT
(not needs) and His work suffers - I cannot understand how a Christian can be so un
concerned! I cannot understand how everyone does not have or want Jesus as SAVIOUR!
And I cannot understand Calvary. I DO understand...God sent His Son to die for me, to
make me over, cover up by blemishes, give me strength when I am weak and weary. And
someday 1*11 live with Him eternally. Oh, how He loves me, oh how he loves you! This
takes me back to the road sign we saw, "Men Working!" ARE WE? Is the Lord and Savior
of our lives, our time, our finances, our very being? What a difference it will make

when we all get to that place. Acts 17:30,31 sys it all - read it!

Miscellaneous Missives
. . .Here we are in Seattle, Wash.picking up our summer tour. The North American
Christian Convention was next on Schedule. Jerry had a pre-meeting so arrived a day
early for the Christian Educators Conference. Tim LIKED that - he had a couple FREE
days. He literally walked. himself out of a pair of shoesl And I doubt there was much
in Seattle he missed. He kept saying I wish I had my bike!!l

...We drove across Hwy 90 th'u Wash., Idaho, Mont. & Wyo. Our neighbor had asked for
some Mt. St. Helen's ash. From Portland up to Seattle we saw none. In Seattle bought

a little vial for $1.50! In eastern V/ash it was like snow along side of road. Next
morning the steep mtns so heavily ladened with pine were crowned with white billowy
clouds. Ohl our God's handiwork is magnificent...The car seemed a little more than

sluggish. Garages kept saying it's okay so kept on going. Arrived Denver late Sat.
afternoon. A hurried hug & greeting to our wonderful friends and hosts the C-Tayton
Grimstads and then to work. Practice and set up for next day. Bed felt good that night.

...This sluggish little car that Jerry had complained about was taken to hospital
this time they discovered she wasn't all there! In original assembly they left out
2nd gear. How's that for a surprise?

7/13...Grimstads took us (really we tagged along). They were taking Tim to The Organ
Grinder Restaurant. I can't tell you about it - just don't miss it if you're in Denver
or Portland. Dinners with Rick and Karen Hankins & kiddies, Norm & Betty Naylor and

Don & Donna Gardner, Eva & Hank Bentsen, Joyce & Louis Kirkpatrick were so enjoyable
all week. Breakfast with the Warren Dodds at one of our favorite places was delightful.
A picnic in the park with the Bear Valley Church Pacesetters Class was super great as
well as a wonderful opportunity for visiting and meeting new friends.
...The BIG reunion was at Bear Valley Christian CHurch July 20th. It started with

breakfast and a reception for us by the Berean Class. Bible School church followed.
At noon Joyce and Louis Kirkpatrick, our hosts the past few days, invited Ray and
Betty Underwood their son Ernie his wife Rita children. We all first met in
1956 on Western Slope of Colo. But everyone lives in Denver area now, we covered a lot
of years in the brief visit. The afternoon was filled with further joy as we hastened
in and out of John and Mary Davis England's wedding reception. How happy we were to
be there. Evening services followed...and then to Joy and Norm Baldings for Mexican
food. Tim said WOW, was that good!'We ha'd missed it.

...Hosts now were Ray &Betty Underwood in Arvada and they took us to The Old Spaghetti
Factory. Atmosphere super and food super-erl
...New friends Walt & Janie Solgate in Kitteredge, Colo, shared a beautiful meal and
time of fellowship. The children were a joy.

us to lunch and we appreciated it so much as their schedule 1s wild and time is a

...Another busy week had passed and it was our day- with Mt. View Christian Church in
Evergreen. Again the whole day and a bountiful carry in dinner. Evergreen is a tremen
dous tourist area and though we were very familiar with it all we too, had to look!
Briefly, then a visit and lunch before church with the precious Steve Fultons (min-

ister & wife) . Iri^ haste after church we left for Colo. .Springs. At l.Q;30 arrived to
sandwich "in a"much needed visit with Marje, Jim Walton and son Jeff. Our stomachs felt

the need of food after a busy evening and the trip. Marje had already anticipated that.

SEPTEMBER 1980

I gazed at the softly falling rain and

watched a delicate little humming bird as it sipped

nectar from the feeder which Jerry had hung within inches of our dining room window.
The little one fluttered, filled its tummy and in a fleeting second was gone...
Breakfast was over, and as I sat drinking my coffee, my mind was full of many, many
thoughts: I missed my sister; we had gread personal needs; the College had just taken
a gigantic step forward on faith, and the list went on and on...A tear rolled down my
cheek but I quickly wiped it away when Tim noticed, "Mom, what's wrong?"' Not real
izing my emotions had become visible, I said, "Oh, nothing, Tim." I had been thinking
also about God's wonderful BLESSINGS and PROMISES. Tim and I talk a lot, and so I
shared with him my thoughts of how God has so wonderfully blessed us and that we .trust

HIM completely for all things. Olul vQAy zxAJitQ,yLcz koA-Z on tkz bondzn. aj> pO'i^iXbtz oviZy

.Vie are thankful.. .Then I ex

plained the college was FORCED into buying a building, or move in two more y.ears when

the lease expired. It was for REAL...if we did not buy, another party wanted it.
Decision: buy a part of the complex, the building behind us. It would be perfect! In
about 4 weeks with a lot of prayer and effort we were able to give the realtor $10,000
toward the 25,000 down payment. In turn we were given the key. Continuous sizeable
payments are pending after the downpayment is completed. It all seems so crucial and

insurmountable, but we KNOW in "HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE." (Matt. 19:26). It really
happened so suddenly many did not know. As we were talking that day I said, "Tim, I
wish I could write a great big check!" Tim was very quiet, but finally said, "Oh, Mom,
I wish I could too. I'd give all I have, but I can't do anything but play the piano."

That lit me up like a Christmas tree! I said, "Tim, so many people have asked for you
to give a concert, well, you could give a 'Benefit Concert' for the college building

fund."

I explained that it meant people who believe in the cause you are promoting

will share in a financial way. Tim was amazed, "You mean they will do this if I just
play the piano?" I closed our conversation saying, "Tim, you do your very, very best
and God will bless your efforts." He was exuberant thinking he could do this. Thus
plans have been set in motion. The Benefit Concert will be:
Time: Saturday, November 15, 7:00 P.M.

Place: First Church of the Nazarene - 2520 Silver (corner of Silver . AlabsmX

This church is very generous to let us use the building. It really is an asset with
its central location, grand piano, and sizeable auditorium. The associate minister of
the church will record the concert "liveV and cassettes will be available to any
who desire one. The love and concern that you all have shown to us and Tim has over

whelmed us. Your encouragement and support of this project will certainly be revealed
if you should choose to reassure Tim of his efforts by sending a check for the College
Building Fund and stating if you would like the complimentary tape. Presently and
consistently your prayers for Tim and ALL of us as we work toward this event will be
appreciated... Jerry and I thank God for Tim's unique gift; and his interest and

dedication to the Lord's work. Our earnest prayer is his dream of doing something BIG
for his Jesus will be realized. (Col. 3:17) And whatever you do in word or deed do all
in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. And Ps.
63:4: So I will bless thee as long as I live
I will lift up my hands in thy name....Tim will use his handsl

. . . It was a BIG-EE! but oh, thru it all optimism, and lifted spirits went wildi I bet
you wonder WHAT I am talking about. Well, the move into the new college building is now
nearly completed, and it was a big job. Many faithfully worked day in and day out this

past month. Most are retired from the^workipg world but now giving their lives to labor
for the Lord. I actually think Tim hated to see the move end. He has been there every day
and enjoyed every minute. The moving is work, but with 2 stories in the old bldg. and 3
, in the new I believe the laborers felt more work was involved getting their bodies, along

with their load, up down the steps. A \J2A.y 6p2.CMlt tnJJoujtt to tkt l/eAne

and God has given us a WONDERFUL family at the college. To us, they are priceless and
EVERY DAY Jerry and I thank God for allowing us to serve here. Money-wise, down payment
was made. Some of it from generous friends offering a loan, but we pray soon these are
paid back. Constantly uphold our financial needs - both the bldg. fund general fund
need your prayers!

CJust 5 weeks prior this same man was at our house). Those were the words of the piano
tuner as he left our home again. The lovely new Baldwin Acrosonic piano, Tim's gift

from Aunt Ruby, did not hold its tune. We wondered why? Simple explanation: a spinet
piano' is not built for Tim's pressure, the LONG hours of practice and playing and his
heavy touch. They are fine, he said, for easy-type playing and practice. The daintyfingered type, but when "pressure" and the "constant use" this piano gets is consis
tently applied it will be hard to keep it tuned. "You NEED to get him a Grand Piano."
CI was glad Tim didn't hear him say that). "I have tuned it to concert touch. That will

help a little." He left smiling and said, "Be seeing you soon I suppose."

Why Should He Die For Such As I?

In everything both great and small
We see the Hand of G'od irr all.
And in the miracles of Spring
When everywhere is everything
His

handiwork

is

ail

around

And every lovely sight and sound

Proclaims the God of earth and sky
I ask myself "Just Who Am I"
That God should send His only Son
That my salvation would be won
Upon a cross by a sinless man
To bring fulfillment to God's Plan For Jesus suffered, bled and died
That sinners might be sanctified.
And to grant God's children such as I
Eternal life in that Home on High.

Adlos ioA now.

"His Birth Made a Difference..,HIS

Birth made THE Difference is the

testimony of a Christian family who have

faced and overcome many crises In their

s Hymns"
In her book, Rosemary tells not only of
the many crises in their lives, but also
how God has given their son a tremen
dous finger dexterity, and how it led to a
keen interest in piano. As parents, they
did ail in their power to encourage Tim in
his music. His little one finger, and one
hand tunes led to two fingers, two hands
and soon he was scaling the keyboard!
Tim plays almost completely by ear,
never with music and a song is never
played the same way twice. Those who

lives. Told by Rosemarj' Baley in her

delightful conversational style, this is the
story of the joys and disappointments,
the triumphs and problems and hear
taches of one Christian family deter
minedbe it in the valley or on the
mountainto serve and glorify their
wonderful Lord.

Knowing Rosie, Jerry and Tim has

made a difference in our lives...and...

reading this book should make a dif

ference in yours!"

hear and see him MARVEL at this God-

given ability, and many requests were

made for tapes after reading the book, or
hearing him thus 'Tim's Hymns He
Touched Me" was made. The name was

chosen simply because, truly God touched

this ones life. There are 17 favorite hymns
on the cassette.

vtstttng and mAXtng to hea/i: THE TOTAL OFFERING FOR TIM'S
BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE COLLEGE BUILDING FUND HAS NOW REACHED

A Savior

., .Christ,

$1,78211 We were ALL'a'stunned people, completely saturated

with the knowledge it was truly accomplished ONLY because of HIM.
Tim, the instrument which God used to bring forth this reality,

beamedl His knowledge of money is limited-he could not comprehend

the victory. BUT he KNEW, with everyone so jubilant, it must be

okay, and he was thrilled that everyone was so happy. He drank in
the response of love shown him, and he happily autographed programs. It is impossible to describe the joys, anticipations, frustrations, yes, doubts and
fears we, as parents, had in the preparation for this event. Tim has always been a part of
our musical programs for years and performed easily and acceptably. BUT suddenly, as it all
came close and he was THE TOTAL PERFORMER, excitement continued to mount and our thoughts
were-wou^ people expect peA-tjecMon? Immediately our earnest prayers were that God would

the Lord

ease our anxieties, and that those who 1istened would NOT have the ear of a "critic" but their

souls would be filled with the feeling and deep love for music Tim emits as he plays.

Miscellaneous Missives
,,,Many wonderful excited people promoted the concert anditwas visually or audibly an
nounced in every conceiveable way. A rich experience was ours as a delightful reporter
from a local newspaper came to the house for an interview. She was a precious, caring
soul and her genuine love and concern made us feel we were life-time friends. Two-thirds

of a page of the local newspaper was given to her write-up with three pictures of Tim at
the piano.

This exposure the day before the concert was tremendous.

,,,From the inception of the idea and the date set. Dad (Jerry) began even more concen
trated coaching of Tim. Hours each day... The final week their work-outs were on the
baby grand piano at the church.

HAP-E-NINGS
The many hours of practise should qualify Tim for a night out at his favorite restaurant,
we thought. "Tim, you choose a place and we'll go," we said. "Oh, Boy," excitedly and un
hesitatingly he answered, "Let's go to Pancho's and after that to Baskin's ice cream

parlor." (Pancho's is a MacDonald-type Mexican cafeteria, and the food is HOT.) I about
choked, but said, "You're on." We didn't have to coax them, but I'm sure Dorothy & Bill
Morgan would have been a bit more enthused about going along had we gone elsewhere as
would Jerry and I. BUT it was Tim's celebration. The ice cream did cool off a hot tonguel

Since Tim has little conception about money but a great big bunch of love for all our
families, it seemed unreal to him that someone wasn't coming for the concert. A long talk
made him forget there could even be a thought of such. BUT Uncle Clyde, my youngest

brother, flew in on Saturday morning, the day of the concert. It was a surprise for Tim.
Not knowing how to get him to go along to the airport without spoiling the surprise, I
said, "Grandma is sending something we are to pick up at the airport." I cannot even
begin to describe this moment in that day, but will leave your imagination to work
overtime.

WHAT A REUNION!

MORE MATTERS

FOR CHATTER

. . .The main thrust in Jerry's coaching was for Tim to be comfortable and help him anti
cipate all happenings. Tim chose to wear a light creamy beige tuxedo trimmed in soft
chocolate brown, ruffled shirt and bow tie. We were thrilled with his choice, and he
looked like a million dollars. The program for Tim was written on 3X5 cards, listing each
piece and the key or keys he was to play it in. These were listed in order of each section.
He put them on the piano bench and picked each up as he used it. The system worked perfect
at practice. Everything went fine at the concert UNTIL his tuxedo coat swept the cards to

the floor! It could have been a devastating experience, but as quickly as it happened
Unple Clyde was there putting them back in order. The audience knew the problem, but
Jerry, behind the scenes, could NOT understand the long silence. Tim took it in stride
smiled at the audience and shortly resumed the program.

FROM

ELATIOWS-TO

FRUSTRATIOWS

!!!!!!!

... The day had been especially busy. The College semi-annual Trustees meeting was the
night before and carried thru that morning
We had not heard much about hurricane Jean,
but she was busy doing her thing, and bad, uninvited weather was coming our way. Days
before we had 80 degrees and bright sunshine. Now, winds, clouds & rain moved in.Weather
-reports forecasted-SNOW and urged" people to stay home. Some were frightened to conie and
phoned apologies
Then a distress call - Dorothy Morgan {President's wife) has aspir
ated a vitamin pill into her lung. It was removed exactly the hour the concert began.

Oh Lond, catm oa/i

and may thZi> tmiy bz an eveyUng o^S gto^y

...Further disappointment was Tim's as Red ,Camp (his teacher) was not able to be here.

It is amazing the spark a phone call can put into one..Red really spruced Tim up when he
called...Then as we were walking out the door, the phone rang and our precious friends
the Clodfelters, wished Tim the Best - said they loved us and were praying for a succes
sful evening. I KNOW many of you, too, were doing the same and because of it we had the
proper balance to all the obstacles and felt God's presence. God is SO good! An excel
lent crowd on a miserable night spurred Tim on. He was happy and it radiated to the
audience, but the standing ovation really amazed him.. .Most-asked question: iJJkzn i>ii

youJi next conceAt? Mom Dad need a re'covery period first! I've shared all this with you
as your letters and offerings in support of Tim's efforts have overwhelmed us! To this

date (11-25) the offering totals $1,950! Wc o/ie 40 ve^y humbtexi .and tfiank^cit. \lJiy
