Here I am at my first appointment at the Salemburg Charge. I served three churches on that charge: Andrews Chapel, Beulah, and Salemburg. I came to this appointment after a year of marriage to Jo Anne. While I was here I attended Divinity School at Duke University. While we were here we had our firstborn son, John Mark. During our four years here we had experiences that would mold and even mark us for years to come.
