My Thoughts
We both attended NMSU. Larry graduated with a degree in accounting. We both worked for, and retired from, the U.S. Civil Service at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. I retired as a Management Assistant; Larry retired as the WSMR Budget Officer. Job assignments took us to San Antonio, TX, and Havre de Grace, MD. We have traveled throughout Mexico, Central America and Alaska. We toured the U.S. and Canada in our 65 Vette. Larry accepted a job as Accounting Officer and Resource Manager with the Corps of Engineers and moved the family to Honolulu, HI, where we lived in a penthouse overlooking Waikiki Beach. Larry got to travel to the Corps’ branch offices in Japan and Korea.
We now live in Las Cruces. Larry authored a book, Speak Basic Spanish In No Time, in 2004. Larry can play several instruments, and he learned many songs as a musician in the First Apostolic Church that his father founded, built and pastored in Las Cruces. He spends most of his time playing and recording gospel music, and playing golf. He has recorded over 300 songs and released 18 CDs of gospel music. The music played by him can be heard at this website, and at www.cantosapostolicos.org. I conduct extensive research on the Internet, and manage the HOP-NM website, a non-profit organization, its CD sales and the donations to HOP-NM.

Who We Are
A Child of the King
(Gospel Song no. 32)
(With introduction)
My Father is rich in houses and lands,
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,
His coffers are full, He has riches untold.
Refrain:
//I’m a child of the King, a child of the King:
With Jesus my Savior, I’m a child of the King.//
My Father’s own Son, the Savior of men,
Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them;
But now He is pleading our pardon on high,
That we may be His, when He comes by and by.
I once was an outcast stranger on earth,
A sinner by choice, an alien by birth,
But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down,
An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.
A tent or a cottage, why should I care?
They’re building a palace for me over there;
Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing:
All glory to God, I’m a child of the King.
