My personal childhood web starts with my parents. I look and sometimes act just like my father. His given name is J.E. and he named me Jayme. As a child I never imagined that I would be in his profession, traveling and preaching. 
J.E. and Tecola Moore.My parents at their 45th appreciation dinner given by the church he pastors.
My parents at the national church convention supporting the youth rally. Dad was too cool to put on the T-shirt. Previously he would put on the t-shirt over his dress shirt and tie, and then put back on the suit coat. 
My Dad started pastoring when I was 2 years old. I don't have many pictures of him at home relaxing or doing anything else but church work. Dad is the presiding bishop of our church international affiliation. He is also now working on his second doctorate (online for this one). He expected us to watch him and follow in his steps of constant self improvement with higher learning. 
Mom with her name sake, my niece Tecola. After me and my siblings had all started grade school, my Mom went to college and became a teacher. She won several teacher of the year awards for her work and her students' test scores. She is very graceful and lady like. But as children we called her 'the hulk' (behind her back); because you wouldn't like her when she was angry. :-D
My Mom juggled full time college, housework, a part time job, church 3 days a week, 5 children and a spoiled husband until she graduated. She is a strong and wise woman.

Your family is such a great support and offered so many lessons. How fortunate you are to have this in your life.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful your father is working on his second doctorate and your mother went back to college! They not only tell you to never stop learning, but they live that lesson they are trying to instill on you!
