Floyd Andrew Reeves is the second oldest of our sons, who was born on March 20, 1966, which makes him 43, as of 2009!

As an high school student, Andrew was driven to distraction by math teachers who demanded that he write down how he arrived at his answers, when knowing the answers was natural to him.

So Andrew's school finally gave up trying to discipline him or us, his parents, for his truancies, when I tossed their effort to blame us right back in their laps, asking, "Since your methods of education obviously are not keeping my son interested in what you are doing, do you think I am going to follow him around with a gun to his head, to keep him captive to your failure?"

Andrew has served the computer needs of industrial clients since he began his amazing career at the age of sixteen! I prayed for a computer capability for my ministry! And in three months Andrew had assembled an Heathkit version of a personal computer and soon went to work selling portable PCs!

Andrew's payer gave him peanuts for his sales effort, while Andrew was designing the software that made possible a corporate client's use of the computers! So I said, "Nuts to that!", and encouraged Andrew to find his own clients, which he has done ever since!

Andrew married Angela, who bore him three sons and two daughters, before personal difficulties caused her to leave both him and the children, who since then have been lovingly yet sternly raised by Andrew with the assistance for seven years of Felice, their home schooling teacher and caretaker!

Andrew is faithful to my teachings, which center upon Yehovaw's toraw or law, and has found inspiration, scholastic leadership and wonderful activities for his children in the United Church of God, which, although it continues to honor Yehovaw's toraw, also abides by the Apostolic teachings of the New Testament!

I need to point out that, with Andrew's brother William having gone out on his own, finding support in service to the school district of his community, the remainder of our family has continued to look to the fruit of Andrew's labors for their ongoing support! We have been aware that Yehovaw is behind Andrew's knowledge and skill! But Andrew's obedience to use those advantages to bless his family at large is to his credit in Yehovaw's Books of Judgment! And I daily praise Yehovaw for the wonderful way in which He has continued to bless this family through Andrew over the past twenty-nine years!

Being nine years older than Andrew, Andrew's older brother Pete had also gone out on his own, establishing himself in the security field. But at a particular point he chose to support Andrew in his enterprise; so, again, that enterprise has remained the primary support of the family other than William, who has supported himself and his family over the years.

Amen! Alleluia!
