Baleys A Highway in Arkansas...Our tape recorder was playing the beautiful Cantata

(we've practically worn the cassette out) "Born to Die." Inspired and near tearsfrom its tremendous message (of Jesus love for each of us) and beauty, I was evenmore conscious of our Creator and Lord as the sky was bathed in a brilliant sunset.As we were clicking down the highway there before us was a sign: "MEN WORKING."Jerry slowed and I immediately caught sight of a huge, gorgeous building! What wasit -- we all asked? In seconds we knew..Sprawled across the front in monstrous letters:MAYBELLINE. That really struck mel!! First, I realized, this is only one of many suchfactories, and only one of many such brart'ds. How concerned mankind is about coveringup blemishes, making over, and being more attractive on the OUTSIDE. But lOfuit aboutthe. tyiS-icLz? The tape recorder had continued on and the words, "Help me to understandthe love of calvary" pierced me. I cannot understand how mankind can so flippantlytreat our Lord - I cannot understand how time can be given to every organization andthe church struggles - I cannot understand how we use our money for things we WANT(not needs) and His work suffers - I cannot understand how a Christian can be so unconcerned! I cannot understand how everyone does not have or want Jesus as SAVIOUR!And I cannot understand Calvary. I DO understand...God sent His Son to die for me, tomake me over, cover up by blemishes, give me strength when I am weak and weary. Andsomeday 1*11 live with Him eternally. Oh, how He loves me, oh how he loves you! Thistakes me back to the road sign we saw, "Men Working!" ARE WE? Is the Lord and Saviorof our lives, our time, our finances, our very being? What a difference it will makewhen we all get to that place. Acts 17:30,31 sys it all - read it!OuA PfiayeA - That tkc Go^peX may -into kexuit and that alt lu>TOGETHER may become, deepe/L, moftz. enthii6ta6t^c and moA.z vitaJi -in tkz iaJXh that

Miscellaneous Missives. . .Here we are in Seattle, Wash.—picking up our summer tour. The North AmericanChristian Convention was next on Schedule. Jerry had a pre-meeting so arrived a dayearly for the Christian Educators Conference. Tim LIKED that - he had a couple FREEdays. He literally walked. himself out of a pair of shoesl And I doubt there was muchin Seattle he missed. He kept saying I wish I had my bike!!l

Our neighbor had asked forsome Mt. St. Helen's ash. From Portland up to Seattle we saw none. In Seattle boughta little vial for $1.50! In eastern V/ash it was like snow along side of road. Nextmorning the steep mtns so heavily ladened with pine were crowned with white billowyclouds. Ohl our God's handiwork is magnificent...The car seemed a little more thansluggish. Garages kept saying it's okay so kept on going. Arrived Denver late Sat.afternoon. A hurried hug & greeting to our wonderful friends and hosts the C-TaytonGrimstads and then to work. Practice and set up for next day. Bed felt good that night.

...This sluggish little car that Jerry had complained about was taken to hospital §this time they discovered she wasn't all there! In original assembly they left out2nd gear. How's that for a surprise?

7/13...Grimstads took us (really we tagged along). They were taking Tim to The OrganGrinder Restaurant. I can't tell you about it - just don't miss it if you're in Denveror Portland. Dinners with Rick and Karen Hankins & kiddies, Norm & Betty Naylor andDon & Donna Gardner, Eva & Hank Bentsen, Joyce & Louis Kirkpatrick were so enjoyableall week. Breakfast with the Warren Dodds at one of our favorite places was delightful.A picnic in the park with the Bear Valley Church Pacesetters Class was super great aswell as a wonderful opportunity for visiting and meeting new friends.

...The BIG reunion was at Bear Valley Christian CHurch July 20th. It started withbreakfast and a reception for us by the Berean Class. Bible School § church followed.At noon Joyce and Louis Kirkpatrick, our hosts the past few days, invited Ray andBetty Underwood § their son Ernie § his wife Rita § children. We all first met in1956 on Western Slope of Colo. But everyone lives in Denver area now, we covered a lotof years in the brief visit. The afternoon was filled with further joy as we hastenedin and out of John and Mary Davis England's wedding reception. How happy we were tobe there. Evening services followed...and then to Joy and Norm Baldings for Mexicanfood. Tim said WOW, was that good!'We ha'd missed it.

...Hosts now were Ray &Betty Underwood in Arvada and they took us to The Old SpaghettiFactory. Atmosphere super and food super-erl...New friends Walt & Janie Solgate in Kitteredge, Colo, shared a beautiful meal andtime of fellowship. The children were a joy.

,he ^S80 SEPTEMBER 1980Baleys

I gazed at the softly falling rain andwatched a delicate little humming bird as it sipped

nectar from the feeder which Jerry had hung within inches of our dining room window.The little one fluttered, filled its tummy and in a fleeting second was gone...Breakfast was over, and as I sat drinking my coffee, my mind was full of many, manythoughts: I missed my sister; we had gread personal needs; the College had just takena gigantic step forward on faith, and the list went on and on...A tear rolled down mycheek but I quickly wiped it away when Tim noticed, "Mom, what's wrong?"' Not realizing my emotions had become visible, I said, "Oh, nothing, Tim." I had been thinkingalso about God's wonderful BLESSINGS and PROMISES. Tim and I talk a lot, and so Ishared with him my thoughts of how God has so wonderfully blessed us and that we .trustHIM completely for all things. Olul vQAy zxAJitQ,yLcz koA-Z on tkz bondzn. aj> pO'i^iXbtz oviZybzcOLUit 0^ tho&2. u)ko LOl/E KIM dmi tov2- and ^uppo^t .Vie are thankful.. .Then I explained the college was FORCED into buying a building, or move in two more y.ears whenthe lease expired. It was for REAL...if we did not buy, another party wanted it.Decision: buy a part of the complex, the building behind us. It would be perfect! Inabout 4 weeks with a lot of prayer and effort we were able to give the realtor $10,000toward the 25,000 down payment. In turn we were given the key. Continuous sizeablepayments are pending after the downpayment is completed. It all seems so crucial andinsurmountable, but we KNOW in "HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE." (Matt. 19:26). It reallyhappened so suddenly many did not know. As we were talking that day I said, "Tim, Iwish I could write a great big check!" Tim was very quiet, but finally said, "Oh, Mom,I wish I could too. I'd give all I have, but I can't do anything but play the piano."That lit me up like a Christmas tree! I said, "Tim, so many people have asked for youto give a concert, well, you could give a 'Benefit Concert' for the college buildingfund." I explained that it meant people who believe in the cause you are promotingwill share in a financial way. Tim was amazed, "You mean they will do this if I justplay the piano?" I closed our conversation saying, "Tim, you do your very, very bestand God will bless your efforts." He was exuberant thinking he could do this. Thusplans have been set in motion. The Benefit Concert will be:

Time: Saturday, November 15, 7:00 P.M.Place: First Church of the Nazarene - 2520 Silver (corner of Silver §. AlabsmX—

This church is very generous to let us use the building. It really is an asset withits central location, grand piano, and sizeable auditorium. The associate minister ofthe church will record the concert "liveV and cassettes will be available to anywho desire one. The love and concern that you all have shown to us and Tim has overwhelmed us. Your encouragement and support of this project will certainly be revealedif you should choose to reassure Tim of his efforts by sending a check for the CollegeBuilding Fund and stating if you would like the complimentary tape. Presently andconsistently your prayers for Tim and ALL of us as we work toward this event will beappreciated... Jerry and I thank God for Tim's unique gift; and his interest anddedication to the Lord's work. Our earnest prayer is his dream of doing something BIGfor his Jesus will be realized. (Col. 3:17) And whatever you do in word or deed do allin the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. And Ps.63:4: So I will bless thee as long as I live

I will lift up my hands in thy name....Tim will use his handsl

Those were the words of the pianotuner as he left our home again. The lovely new Baldwin Acrosonic piano, Tim's giftfrom Aunt Ruby, did not hold its tune. We wondered why? Simple explanation: a spinetpiano' is not built for Tim's pressure, the LONG hours of practice and playing and hisheavy touch. They are fine, he said, for easy-type playing and practice. The dainty-fingered type, but when "pressure" and the "constant use" this piano gets is consistently applied it will be hard to keep it tuned. "You NEED to get him a Grand Piano."CI was glad Tim didn't hear him say that). "I have tuned it to concert touch. That willhelp a little." He left smiling and said, "Be seeing you soon I suppose."

s Hymns"

In her book, Rosemary tells not only ofthe many crises in their lives, but alsohow God has given their son a tremendous finger dexterity, and how it led to akeen interest in piano. As parents, theydid ail in their power to encourage Tim inhis music. His little one finger, and onehand tunes led to two fingers, two handsand soon he was scaling the keyboard!Tim plays almost completely by ear,never with music and a song is neverplayed the same way twice. Those whohear and see him MARVEL at this God-given ability, and many requests weremade for tapes after reading the book, orhearing him — thus 'Tim's Hymns — HeTouched Me" was made. The name waschosen simply because, truly God touchedthis ones life. There are 17 favorite hymnson the cassette.

Tears Flowed With Gratitude —and those who could choke out the words, lifted their voicessinging P-mUe God Wkom All Ble6-6^ng.6 FZou), The LONG anticipated event of the evening, Nov. 15, 1980, was now history...The dooA. to OLYL open and John PauZ BtUXe^, cotteget^ecuuAe/L, boomed oat to the many tn the toAge ^oyvi 6titivtstttng and mAXtng to hea/i: THE TOTAL OFFERING FOR TIM'SBENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE COLLEGE BUILDING FUND HAS NOW REACHED$1,78211 We were ALL'a'stunned people, completely saturatedwith the knowledge it was truly accomplished ONLY because of HIM.Tim, the instrument which God used to bring forth this reality,beamedl His knowledge of money is limited-he could not comprehendthe victory. BUT he KNEW, with everyone so jubilant, it must beokay, and he was thrilled that everyone was so happy. He drank inthe response of love shown him, and he happily autographed pro-describe the joys, anticipations, frustrations, yes, doubts andin the preparation for this event. Tim has always been a part of

and performed easily and acceptably. BUT suddenly, as it allPERFORMER, excitement continued to mount and our thoughts

Immediately our earnest prayers were that God wouldwould NOT have the ear of a "critic" but their

souls would be filled with the feeling and deep love for music Tim emits as he plays.

Miscellaneous Missives,,,Many wonderful excited people promoted the concert anditwas visually or audibly announced in every conceiveable way. A rich experience was ours as a delightful reporterfrom a local newspaper came to the house for an interview. She was a precious, caringsoul and her genuine love and concern made us feel we were life-time friends. Two-thirdsof a page of the local newspaper was given to her write-up with three pictures of Tim atthe piano. This exposure the day before the concert was tremendous.

,,,From the inception of the idea and the date set. Dad (Jerry) began even more concentrated coaching of Tim. Hours each day... The final week their work-outs were on thebaby grand piano at the church.

HAP-E-NINGSThe many hours of practise should qualify Tim for a night out at his favorite restaurant,we thought. "Tim, you choose a place and we'll go," we said. "Oh, Boy," excitedly and unhesitatingly he answered, "Let's go to Pancho's and after that to Baskin's ice creamparlor." (Pancho's is a MacDonald-type Mexican cafeteria, and the food is HOT.) I aboutchoked, but said, "You're on." We didn't have to coax them, but I'm sure Dorothy & BillMorgan would have been a bit more enthused about going along had we gone elsewhere— aswould Jerry and I. BUT it was Tim's celebration. The ice cream did cool off a hot tonguel

Since Tim has little conception about money but a great big bunch of love for all ourfamilies, it seemed unreal to him that someone wasn't coming for the concert. A long talkmade him forget there could even be a thought of such. BUT Uncle Clyde, my youngestbrother, flew in on Saturday morning, the day of the concert. It was a surprise for Tim.Not knowing how to get him to go along to the airport without spoiling the surprise, Isaid, "Grandma is sending something we are to pick up at the airport." I cannot evenbegin to describe this moment in that day, but will leave your imagination to workovertime. WHAT A REUNION!

MORE MATTERS FOR CHATTER

. . .The main thrust in Jerry's coaching was for Tim to be comfortable and help him anticipate all happenings. Tim chose to wear a light creamy beige tuxedo trimmed in softchocolate brown, ruffled shirt and bow tie. We were thrilled with his choice, and helooked like a million dollars. The program for Tim was written on 3X5 cards, listing eachpiece and the key or keys he was to play it in. These were listed in order of each section.He put them on the piano bench and picked each up as he used it. The system worked perfectat practice. Everything went fine at the concert UNTIL his tuxedo coat swept the cards tothe floor! It could have been a devastating experience, but as quickly as it happenedUnple Clyde was there putting them back in order. The audience knew the problem, butJerry, behind the scenes, could NOT understand the long silence. Tim took it in stride—smiled at the audience and shortly resumed the program.

!!!!!!! FROM ELATIOWS-TO FRUSTRATIOWS !!!!!!!... The day had been especially busy. The College semi-annual Trustees meeting was thenight before and carried thru that morning We had not heard much about hurricane Jean,but she was busy doing her thing, and bad, uninvited weather was coming our way. Daysbefore we had 80 degrees and bright sunshine. Now, winds, clouds & rain moved in.Weather

-reports forecasted-SNOW and urged" people to stay home. Some were frightened to conie andphoned apologies Then a distress call - Dorothy Morgan {President's wife) has aspirated a vitamin pill into her lung. It was removed exactly the hour the concert began.Oh Lond, catm oa/i and may thZi> tmiy bz an eveyUng o^S gto^y you.1...Further disappointment was Tim's as Red ,Camp (his teacher) was not able to be here.It is amazing the spark a phone call can put into one..Red really spruced Tim up when hecalled...Then as we were walking out the door, the phone rang and our precious friendsthe Clodfelters, wished Tim the Best - said they loved us and were praying for a successful evening. I KNOW many of you, too, were doing the same and because of it we had theproper balance to all the obstacles and felt God's presence. God is SO good! An excellent crowd on a miserable night spurred Tim on. He was happy and it radiated to theaudience, but the standing ovation really amazed him.. .Most-asked question: iJJkzn i>iiyouJi next conceAt? Mom § Dad need a re'covery period first! I've shared all this with youas your letters and offerings in support of Tim's efforts have overwhelmed us! To thisdate (11-25) the offering totals $1,950!
