We are living in a time of the manifested wholesale departure, wandering, roaming, straying, and going away from the Old-Time Gospel of the Bible. People, churches, denominations, leaders, movements, groups, and individuals are on their way out of orbits and orderly systems of truth which were formerly held dear and sacred. We are never shocked to hear of another star leaving an orderly pulpit, life, and practice to spin down into the darkness of the apostasy.

On August 16^th through the 19^th of this year, I was honored by invitation to be a part of the 12^th reunion of the survivors of the USS Indianapolis, which also was the 56^th Anniversary of the sinking of that same ship. This momentous occasion took place in Indianapolis, Indiana, with some 86 or 87 of the still living 110 survivors being present. Nearly 1,000 additional individuals attended who made up the survivors’ families and friends.
