 above: that may be kevin "gubby" dalson waving the "peace" sign at the camera. I don't think it's me.

above: I must be in the above pic which was taken at alger school where I attended before I was transferred to seymour christian elementary, but I'm not sure which one I am, maybe the one in the center with the orangish shirt sort of looking towards the camera 

 this was in randolph wisconsin at our uncle seymour's farm

 this is the BACK of Boorsmas grocery store in alger heights, where I worked for a while as a stocker etc, not far from our house. Bill Boorsma, the owner, was a local dutchman who supported the Christian schools.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

Revelation 1:8

GREETINGS ! I INVITE U2 accept JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD & SAVIOR TODAY, RIGHT NOW, OR ANYTIME, & BE SAVED ! Don't wait until it is TOO LATE. Don't Hesitate. The consequences are TOO GREAT.! Humble yourself. You CANNOT do it alone. None of us can. Guaranteed 100% FAILURE RATE for those who try to GO IT ALONE. Kneel down now and say to Jesus, "Sorry & Thank you, I surrender to YOU, LORD, & Commit my LIFE 2 U, now & forever" 

WELCOME ! SO i grew up in grand rapids,...went to elementary, junior high, high school, & even college in grand rapids (I also did a few other colleges outside michigan later or concurrently), and I spend more time in southern California now, but always keep an eye on what's happening "back home." Perhaps I should say I grew up in West MIchigan, because we spent a lot of time at Holland, and later on time near Muskegon and also the Silver Lake (New Era) area, among other places. And even within Grand Rapids I lived in numerous locations, some within the boundaries of the city, others outside. Nonetheless, my specific area of origin in Grand Rapids is/was the Alger Heights area, not far from Alger Park, a little bit farther from Seymour Christian school (which may have changed its name as of 2014).SO I will come back to this welcome page and add a little more narration in the near future, but also will be posting links to current news about Grand Rapids on a periodic basis, with my thoughts & comments.

Here's to Grand Rapids 

& West Michigan !

" If u declare with your mouth,

“Jesus is Lord,” &

 believe in your  

HEART 

that God

 raised Him

 from the dead, 

u will be saved."
