Dear Brethren, The world has been shocked and horrified by Tuesday's terrorist attacks against the United States. We do not yet know the full scope of the damage, or the number of lives lost, but we know that the United States has received a terrible and unprecedented wound. God's people…

Greetings everyone: The Labor Day weekend shortened our laboring days, but God's Work goes on just the same in full steam. Meanwhile, the CAD Director continues his Southeast visiting tour. Presently, he is in Malaysia and he will be there until Monday when he leaves for Thailand. I haven't had…

Greetings everyone: In his last update, Mr. Carl McNair spoke of "dog days," referring to mid-summer heat. Frankly, I didn't have the slightest idea what he meant, but I smiled (politely) when he showed me his draft. Oftentimes, when I don't get an American joke (was that one a joke?) I hide my…

Greetings everyone: We are now in the final phase of "dog days" as some call mid-summer here in the USA. I presume that expression has come down to us from the American Indians through our pioneer forefathers. I have heard the expression all of my life, but I never asked my parents for a full…

Greetings everyone: I had a good trip and visit with the brethren in Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tennessee last Sabbath. There were two members at services in Chattanooga who attended the first monthly Bible Study I conducted in Nashville, Tennessee in 1963—the Pastor, Bob League and member Mr.…

Greetings everyone: Talk about "dog days of summer!" I met Mr. Ames out in the hall this morning and he informed me that the "weather map" listed very few (5 perhaps) cool places across the U. S. continent—and he said San Diego was one of the few. Mr. Ames just returned from Michigan where he…

Greetings everyone: Many of you have children or grandchildren at the Living Church of God Youth Camp in Michigan. Reports coming from the LYC are very good. Mr. Richard Ames left Wednesday to visit the camp and speak this Sabbath. He will return to San Diego next Tuesday, August 7th. Mr.…

Greetings everyone: My wife and I had an enjoyable visit with Mr. and Mrs. Ben Whitfield and the Wyoming brethren in Saratoga, Wyoming. Folks came from Wyoming, Colorado and Iowa to enjoy the beautiful country on the North Platte River, quite high at about 7,000 feet elevation. It is a lovely…

July 19, 2001

Greetings everyone! The Fast last Sabbath has born fruit from all that I have heard from the field. My wife and I were in Garden Grove for services, and we surely missed the wonderful "pot-luck" that Mr. and Mrs. Collins and assistants always put together. We sure hated to waste a trip up there…

July 12, 2001

Greetings everyone! Dorothy and I enjoyed a few days off in Montana over the 4th of July week. Last Sabbath I was in Reno, Nevada for services. There were a number of guests at Sabbath services because there was to be an outing Sunday at Lake Tahoe. Dorothy and I left Sacramento early Sunday…

Greetings everyone, Since this is the long July 4th weekend, some of you will receive this Weekly Report after the week has ended, but not so with the Internationals. For them July 4th weekend is no longer than any other. Vive la difference—and vive the Internationals! For some unknown reasons,…

June 29, 2001

Greetings everyone, By now, most of you have probably received Mr. Meredith's recent letter addressed to the Church members, proclaiming a fast to enable us to get closer to God. We know that God will appreciate our individual sincerity in this aim. However, without spoiling its solemnity, may I…
