A Word of Support
   Dear Editor: You would think that when a man passes the half-century mark he would have at least a few of the answers. It would seem that he should understand some of the secrets of life. It is not so with me. It seems the longer I live, fewer things are nailed down pat.
   For example, I have never been able to understand why some of the best and most dedicated disciples are called upon to suffer the most. I would like to share with you and your readers one such story.
   Sam Pinnell, my brother-in-law, and Dottie Pinnell, my sister, have had more to bear than any one couple should be asked to face.
   Sis has been sick all of her adult life. When the doctor talked to Sam and my parents after surgery, he told them that it would be only a matter of time until all of her organs would stop working. Since that time, she has been at the point of death repeatedly.
   Sam had multiple by-pass surgery after the first of this year. At that time it was discovered that his kidneys were diseased. He is now on dialysis with little hope of reprieve.
   This is a couple who have given their lives to the work of the ministry. They were not content with just this, but opened their home to four foster children. My prayer is that God will bless Sis and Sam in a special way, and that we, as a church, will show them that we love them.
   If you would like to support and encourage them, I am sure they would love to hear from you. You may write them at : Sam Pinnell, 13320 Lupine, Trona, CA 93562.
