Maury Wilson and his wife Ruth are long-time truth-believers—solid as rocks. They live in Englewood , Florida Port Charlotte , with their daughter Maura and her husband Richard.
Maury worked in aviation most his life. For 23 years this meant clocking in at Cape Canaveral during its formative years and contributing to the Navaho and Atlas Agena rocket projects. He was a launch technician and guidance expert. These rockets—and the guidance technology utilized by them—were forerunners of the Apollo rockets that eventually took us to the moon.
Maury is one smart dude.
I have spent mornings here, before dawn, with Maury, in front of his computer. Maury is not only interested in aviation and aerospace, but in end-time theology. God has given him much insight into the workings of the bestial world system and its operation in accord with the prince of the power of the air, namely, Satan. This is one reason God has brought me here, to glean from Maury some important considerations that will inform my upcoming Revelation series and related book. I thank God for sending me here.
Additionally, I’ve had wonderful times of fellowship around the breakfast and dinner table; Ruth and Maura are great cooks. have been made to feel a part of this family, and will surely miss them when I leave here early tomorrow morning.

Thursday evening, I was invited to the home of Brian Curtis and his wife Colette for good old barbeque ribs, Brian Curtis style. You will remember that this couple, along with a young man named Ryan, drove across the state to visit me at Waylan Dabbs' house in Coral Springs in January. Brian also wanted me to meet his pastor Tony and his wife: what a nice couple. Also at the dinner was a woman named Chris and her son and daughter. We all had good fellowship.

When I haven been with Maury in front of the computer, or with the family at the dining room table, I have been shuttling between here and Port Charlotte to watch my son Paul play baseball. (He has played a game every day, Monday-Friday, and two games today—Saturday.) The field, it turns out, is only a 15-minute drive from this house.
How is that for divine planning?
