My 26-year-0ld daughter completed a year as a missionary in Israel and has been named an associate pastor at Grace Community United Methodist Church in Shreveport effective July 1.

The Way The World Ought To Be
Posted by EdwardTeach on 12/12/15 at 2:15 pm
Last spring I asked the question of how you would feel if your 25 year old daughter was leaving to spend a year in Israel. I received some surprising answers but was really shocked at some of the rudeness I received.
My daughter entered Israel without knowing the language and where bus stops w...
Would F.O.S. be better?
Posted by EdwardTeach on 8/4/15 at 2:43 pm
I've seen four doctors and two labs in the past few days and needed a little humor in my life. My attempt with F.I.B. didn't make it so I apologize.
The fall and injuries happened as I described. To answer a question. The gangway was lowered after I had some feeling return to my legs. I assur...
How I earned my F.IB.
Posted by EdwardTeach on 8/4/15 at 9:39 am
Even though my memory is full of holes, I am convinced that I was called on to serve on more than my share of working parties, some for hours without food. This did not apply to the event I am remembering here.
I was dizzy and probably feverish as several of us gathered on the deck at the place w...

Jessica owes no student loans. She received enough scholarships and income from jobs to pay her way to LSU. and she had her choice of seminaries with full fellowships plus loans from the Methodist Church that will be forgiven if she serves five years in Louisiana. ...
re: Daughter leaves for Israel as missionary
Posted by EdwardTeach on 7/6/15 at 9:12 am
I can understand questions but not rudeness.
Jessica is a missionary IN Israel, not a missionary TO Israel. Her reason for going to Israel is that God called her. You may question her beliefs but many people support her.
Although the Methodist Church does not pay her, the church approved...

Daughter leaves for Israel as missionary
Posted by EdwardTeach on 7/4/15 at 3:21 pm
What would be your feelings and thoughts if your daughter was leaving Sunday to spend a year as a missionary in Israel? Probably the way my wife and I feel -- proud and excited, but sad because we will not see her for a year, and apprehensive because Israel is part of the troubled Mideast.

Remembering Iwo Jima -- 70th anniversary
Posted by EdwardTeach on 2/19/15 at 1:37 pm
Yes, I remember Iwo Jima. Around 5 a.m the USS Pickens, APA 190, reached the tiny island of Iwo Jima. I was on deck at a debarkation station from where we launched our boats. I remember the Marines scrambling down cargo nets to enter the boats, and I remember boats returning with wounded Marines. ...

That Easter Sunday 1945
Posted by EdwardTeach on 4/1/14 at 9:17 am
The sun dawned bright that Easter morning April 1, 1945. Every ship in the huge armada had been at battle stations since 5 a.m,when out of the sun came the kamikaze, planes flown by Japanese pilots on a mission to die attacking American ships.
I was in the radar shack trying to detect the planes...
iwo jima won 69 years ago today
Posted by EdwardTeach on 3/26/14 at 9:25 am
"Iwo Jima will live within the hearts of all persons who were there. No others will ever know the tortures that little island produced."
From the personal narrative of Mike White,
photographer for the USS Pickens, APA 190.
Sixty-nine years ago today victory was achieved in IWO...
Iwo Jima memories from 69 yers ago
Posted by EdwardTeach on 3/7/14 at 1:21 pm
When my thoughts turn to Iwo Jima 69 years ago, memories of three events stand out. Of course, one is observing the American flag go up on Mt. Suribachi, go down and be raised again. We had no idea at the time that Joseph Rosenthal's picture of the flag raising would become famous.
I will always...

re: Joe Paterno will retire at the end of the season per AP
Posted by EdwardTeach on 11/9/11 at 11:22 am
Paterno should be kicked out now. What an arrogant bastard he is to tell the board of trustees they have nothing to do now, that he will resign at the end of the year. What a travesty and an insult to the victims and their families if he is on the sidelines or in the coaching booth Saturday. I w...
