My Childhood Church

2/14/2010 6:53:36 AM MY DREAM: I had a very pleasant dream this morning. I was being bad. I was sinning. I was doing all the evils of society. During this time, Jesus, came to me and asked me why are you abusing my temple? I didn’t realize that we a temples of God. So it was a very good dream. GOD IS GOOD! We Christians are temples of GOD. Happy Valentines Day. Sally & I went to see “OKLAHOMA” at John’s old High School, Topeka West, last night. Damion P. was the lead. The family attends our church here at OSLC. I’m not much into musicals. I’m also not a very romantic. OH WELL.. myron@myownfaith2.com

I PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY DAILY. ORELE & ALVINA (LENNING) HOLTER: Orele was my father’s older brother. He married his 1st cousin.

1/18/2010 4:37:50 PM MY FAMILY CONTINUES: I’ve been trying to remember who I missed from the Skovlund family. LEON SKOVLUND: Leon married Donna Townsend. He died a few years ago. I think Donna lives in Sinai SD. I could be wrong. Donna’s younger sister, Margaret, was my classmate in Bruce High School … class of 1963 I’ll write about my classmates later. I was able to attend Leon’s funeral at Grace Lutheran. His younger brother Harold took my picture of which is on our home page. Amazing! So, that leaves two Skovlund’s left. Need help!

ADOLPH GUSTAV HOLTER: That would be my father. DAD passed away in May 1977-8 .. I think. I remember my brother called me at work. He said “DAD DIED”.

A car jack slipped on top of him while he was changing oil on his vehicle.. I think. One time I was told to shock grain and load the shocks into a grain trailer. Being the rebellious young teenager I was, I refused. Uncle Lewis used his wonderful negotiations skills by making me the “field” manager. I worked with a new purpose.

His oldest son, Darvin, Darvey used to tell us that Normy would sing to the top of his lungs while working in the field. I personally never heard him singing out in the field, but I can believe it. Normy would sing the annual Christmas song in NorVegun “I YAM so Glad this Christmas eve” I remember him singing and
