About this title

About the Author

As a babe in arms the habit of meeting often in the house of the Lord was firmly entrenched. He was taught to worship God, have reverence for the word of the Lord, love his fellow man, and “study all good books.” As a teenager he was admonished to prepare for service to God. When he was ordained in 1966 he followed his grandfather, father, and brother into the ministry. In 1969, to prevent being drafted, he chose to enter the navy with a guarantee that he would be trained as a hospital corpsman. While in school he contacted a member of a local church for transportation on Sunday. He states he had three goals: to participate in worship, to go home with a family for fun and fellowship, and to meet eligible young ladies. On his second visit only one young lady had a vacant seat next to her. He asked and was given permission to occupy that seat. If you don't believe in destiny or that marriages are made in heaven you may want to reconsider your beliefs. Her grandmother had been his mother's Sunday school teacher in the late 1920s or early 1930s several hundred miles away. Art and Dawn had their first date in August, became engaged in September, and wed on Valentine's Day in 1970. After being struck by a car while crossing the street in November 2000 he spent thirtyseven days in the hospital and a rehab facility. He became friends with the facility chaplain. When a spot opened up in the pastoral care department, Art and Dawn became voluntary guest chaplains, leading nondenominational services one Sunday every other month. They began their fourteenth year of service in January 2015.
