About Bob
Who is Bob Pearcy? That is little ol me, 69 , little formal education and a lot of experience. I posted about the “old dog” a while back. I have enough experience that I should be able to stay out of trouble. They say experience is a great teacher if we will just learn from it. Actually if we will learn from others experience we can save ourselves a lot of pain and suffering.
I grew up on the farm, my dad taught me to do everything. We did our own repair work on tractors and equipment, plus what ever else needed done. On the farm you have to be a ‘jack of all trades’, you mechanic, weld, milk cows, operate farm equipment, dig ditch, pick fruit, load truck with produce, spray trees, prune trees, hoe weeds, bale hay, and many other things. It is better than any classroom and prepared me for the life ahead.
I have farmed, operated heavy equipment, drove truck, sold securities and mutual funds, built roads and dams, leveled land, skidded logs. Been a mechanic, machinist, volunteer chaplain in prisons and jails, missionary in several foreign countries, webmaster and whatever else I needed to do.
I have had different hobbies such as ham radio, faceting gem stones, radio controled airplanes, raced jalopy on the old dirt track, and other things, maybe some unmentionable.
The best thing that ever happened to me was a business deal I made with a customer of mine. I had a Mercedes Benz repair shop and this customer named Loren invited me to lunch. I knew this lunch was a religious thing and I didn’t want anything to do with it. Two things I didn’t talk about was religion and politics, especially religion. Anyway he kept at it for a long time and one day I told him I saw something I thought would help his health and invited him to a meeting.
Loren said “I’ll go to your meeting if you will go to mine”. He had me, what else could I do but go to lunch with him. Lunch was every Wednesday at Black Angus in Boise, a great place to eat but I saw something I had never seen before in the religion I grew up in. About forty guys shared the love of Christ with me. I had never experienced that love before, I had heard the gospel but the gospel without love is incomplete.
I ended up asking Christ into my heart and was forever changed, Praise God!
You know what? That was the best business deal I ever made. And you know what else? I still don’t talk about religion but love to talk about my LORD, and politics? Well I guess this blog tells the story there but if you look at the state of this once great country someone needs to speak out.
I have been blessed to share the love of Christ in jails, prisons, mental hospitals, in several nations in Asia and Central America and on the air waves of cb radio and ham radio. Have told my testimony at churches, business mens groups and on the streets of the world. He, the Lord has filled my life with friends and joy and love that I never knew before inviting Christ into my heart and making him my Savior and Lord.
What about you? Have you met my Lord? If not would you like to? Email me bob@bobpearcy.com or send me your phone number and I will call you. It won’t cost you a dime and I will tell you of that love. You can also call me on Skype for free, I am ‘brother-bob’ on Skype.
