THE STORY OF ME AND MY KJV.---By November of 1953 I had joined the U.S. Air Force, completed bootcamp and tech training on the unparalleled B-47 Stratojet, performed The Rhumba Boogie at the Big-D Jamboree with a standing ovation, attended the funeral of my oldest brother, dated a Christian girl named Jean, and vowed to her I would become a Christian when I reached my assigned airbase in Tucson.
A few guys in my squadron claimed to be Christians, and acted like it. One was my pal Bob. Convicted, I secretly bought a small KJV Bible and often sneaked peaks at it. One day I visited Bob's room. He sat reading his KJV Bible! I said, "Bob, I want to get saved, marry a good woman, and begin a Christian home." Startled, he gave me some passages to read in my KJV, invited me to church to get saved, and introduce me to a good woman. His fianc and the "good woman" were best friends.
I went with him to Sunday School and church. Their church textbook? yyyyep, the KJV! Stepping into the class who faced us, I scanned them. There among them sat the most gorgeous woman I had seen in my entire life of 21 years! SHE was the ONE! Guys, if you saw a picture of her, you'd have to pull your eyeballs back in and eat your heart out! I was to discover that she was every bit as beautiful inside as she was on the outside! We dated nearly six months, and each and every time I saw her, I proposed to her. She finally said "yes."
Ours was a storybook romance for 61 years, 5 months, and 12 days before I lost her. While on her hospital bed, the attending nurses said to one another in our presence, "This doesn't look good." Her beautiful eyes widened as she loudly said, "I'm ready to go!" Hours later she quietly closed her eyes and slipped into the waiting arms of the Lord Jesus, whom she loved infinitely more than me. The KJV was the crowning jewel that led our little family of 4 through it all. I have a big picture of her on my wall with a WWII caption, "I'll see you after the war."
Your words have blessed me. Thank you for sharing your significant history with us all.

Thank you, T. Levis. What you wrote was very encouraging! I dearly love that passage in the KJV you cited! I pray God will bless you in your youngest son's consideration of entering America's space program. America has far too many scientists who approach America's space program (and all science, for that matter) from an Atheistic mindset. If he hasn't already, I suggest he do a Google search on scientists who are Christian in their research. I have one organization in particular in mind, but the rules here rightfully disallow advertisements. God bless!
