Yesterday was a hard day for me. It was also a very convicting day...a day when I took the time to look at my own life and evaluate myself as a sister, a wife, a mother, and grandmother. I looked at myself and saw so many areas where I could be better. My examination began when I attended the funeral for a woman I have grown to love and appreciate over the past 15 years during our time at Sunset. The "Morris Mob" came to Sunset when it was still Sunset School of Preaching in 1993. Very early on we made it a point to meet Elaine and Richard Walker because during our time as an Air Force family we met the Walker's oldest daughter, Sheryl, and her family in Germany. We worshiped with the Kaiserslautern Church of Christ from June 1985 to June 1988. At that time Tom and Sheryl were working with the Bitburg Church of Christ, where Tom was the preacher. Germany was a uniquely, different and wonderfully family oriented world for the Church. Church Family became "closer than a brother" type family. Because most of the congregations were so small, sister congregations all over Germany did alot of things together for encouragement and fellowship.

Knowing the SHEPHERD
Most of you already know that I "LOVE" my job with the Sunset International Translation Center. I work with some amazing people, many of whom I have never met, because we communicate through email rather than face to face interactions. I coordinate our Sunset Translation work with Christian translators and editors who live all over the world. Many of these people are fairly new converts who live and work in areas of the world vastly different from my safe little community of Lubbock, Texas. Their love for the Lost and their devotion to God’s Word is a daily inspiration to me. These people truly sacrifice beyond their means just to be involved in the work they do.
Translation is just a "piece" of my job here at Sunset. I am also privileged to be able to edit our Sunset Bible Study Library series which consists of a book-style format of the spoken word from our Sunset Residential classes. Sunset is blessed to have an amazing faculty who also sacrifices to be personally involved in training whole men and women to preach the whole Gospel to the whole world wholly to please God.
