Bud J. Andrews

The eleventh child of Jefferson D. Andrews, a teacher, farmer and Baptist preacher, and Lucy Welborn Andrews, a very traditional, southern wife and stay-at-home mother, I was blessed. Even after my dad passed and went to be with The Lord when I was seven years old, I was blessed to be reared in a loving, Christian home. I received my Salvation at age ten, never understanding fully what that meant, except I belonged to Jesus and Heaven would be my eternal home. After a thirty-year self-imposed "prodigal son" type sabbatical, God got my attention. November 17, 1997 is forever in my mind as The Day My Life Was Changed Eternally, by my Lord in Heaven. A painful heart attack with subsequent quintuple by-pass surgery, a powerful "sign," an answered prayer! Some of these poems and verses are biographical, some are not???all were given of God. May God Bless You.
