The following article appeared in the November 2009 print issue of the “Christian Chronicle”, an “international newspaper for Churches of Christ” whose mission is “to inform, inspire and unite”. The article was written by Chris Blair, who ministers to students on the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas, while serving as the Campus Minister for the Huntsville Church of Christ.

Paul and Susan O'Rear's Wedding
Susan and I married on Saturday, October 16, 1982, at the Round Rock Church of Christ in Round Rock, Texas. (I didn’t even have to look that up! I knew it right off the top of my head!)
We had first met each other about a year-and-a-half earlier. I was a Freshman at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. Susan was a Junior at Round Rock High School in Round Rock, Texas. She and her family were members of the Round Rock Church of Christ.

Last month, I attended the Central Texas Bible Teachers Workshop 
, hosted by the Cameron Road Church of Christ in Austin, Texas. One of the things I always look forward to at such events is seeing my friend Robert J. Taylor and perusing his latest CD’s. I picked up three new CD’s in Austin. (Shhh! Don’t tell Susan!)
There was one song in particular that really grabbed me. It is entitled “Not Too Far From Here”, and it reminds us to look at those around us with an open heart, because people are hurting “not too far from here”.
You can click on the Music Player button below to listen to the song.
God bless you.

Someone once said, “In the race to be better or best, don’t miss the joy of being.”
When I was a boy growing up in South Texas, my family would take off for about two weeks every summer and go camping. The first camping trips I remember were to the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.
