Forty years ago today, at precisely 12:44pm, our son John Marshall II was born in Metairie (New Orleans) LA. Those were seminary days for Ruth and me. We drove back and forth from New Orleans to Grenada MS (600 miles round trip) every weekend. Ruth missed making the trip only one weekend. John 2 grew up thinking a car was his other home. He still enjoys riding in a car.
John has made us proud. We have watched him walk through adversity with grace and gentleness. He has carried through life burdens heavier than I have had to bear.
Through it all, John 2 has stayed faithful. He loves Jesus!! He is a great teacher and preacher. He has also been effective as a Pastor. He is a seventh generation preacher.
He and Amanda are a precious couple. We love them both dearly, and rejoice in the fact they will in December be giving us a 7th grandchild (number 5 for them).
Happy birthday, Son.
