For about 10 years I went on and off to travel to FBC in Reserve to preach. For about 6 months on year I went every week. During that time for about 3 years I traveled to FBC in Quemado on and off to preach. I love this part of America! I love the people of Catron County! Salt of the earth folks. Rep. Armstrong is spot on in her move to get the governor and education secretary out on the roads of Carton County! I wonder when the last time the guv and education secretary been to Reserve or Quemado?
I still go out to Glenwood, which is in Catron County, to preach at FBC Glenwood from time to time to fill in for Pastor Dave.
Gotta have politicians that are not afraid to get their shoes dirty and connect with people outside of Albuquerque/Santa Fe! Too many politicians think the world begins and ends at Albuquerque/Santa Fe!
