Hi Beloved Friends,

I thank you for allowing me to be on this listserv.  It is one 
listserv for which I am greatful to belong!

My name is Jackie Shepherd.  I am 61-years-old, am married, have 2 
children; along with 2 step-children which I consider my own, and 
have 14 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

I am an alumnus of the Oregon School For The Blind, along with my 
husband Bill, where I met Pat and several others on the list.

I accepted Jesus as my Savior in the summer of 1971, and was 
baptized  by Pastor Siers, who at that time had no church; so we were 
baptized in the River.  In 1972, I was baptized in the Calvary 
Baptist Church, in Portland, Oregon.

I currently work at Talking Book & Braille Services, at the Oregon 
State Library.

My hobbies are:  Music, singing, amateur radio, and a good book.

I once had a Victor Stream; and on one of the cards with the stream 
was a King James Bible.  It didn't have a Concordance, but was read 
by Alexander Scorby.  You could search by both book or chapter, not 
sure of searching by verses.  If anyone is interested, I'd gladly 
send them the file.

Now, on a personal note, I have a prayer request to make.  I have a 
friend named Matthew, who is in the National Guard and for a while 
was over in Cuait, (I know I didn't spell that correctly, 
sorry).   When he came back he experienced bouts of depression, and 
had been put on medication.  However, it has effected his ability to 
do his job.  His supervisor is trying to get rid of him and he has 
already been forced to take a pay cut.  He is raising a grandson 
whose mother doesn't want anything to do with, probably because of 
her current husband.  Matthew is trying either to get another 
position within the agency, away from his current supervisor, or 
another job altogether.  As you all know, jobs are very hard to 
find.  Therefore, would you please pray that God will uphold and 
sustain him in his current situation and that He will continue to 
provide for Matthew and his family; and that all the trials will 
eventually work out for good?

Again, thank you for this Listserv and God bless all of you today.

Your sister in Christ,

Jackie Shepherd
