Rapture According to the Apostle Paul: God's Guarantee of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture / Dennis McLelland (ePub)

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Dennis McLelland Ed.D.

¿Have you ever been out for a late autumn walk in the closing part of the afternoon, and suddenly looked up to realize that the leaves have practically all gone? And the sun has set and the day gone before you knew it - and with that a cold wind blows across the landscape? That's retirement.¿ Stephen Leacock

Here I sit. Sixty-four years have rocketed by and I suddenly find myself with considerable time on my hands. One year after World War II, I was yanked from a tenuous closet of safety and delivered quite roughly by a midwife with monstrous, calloused hands. I grew and seemed to blow out every pair of shoes. The years passed too quickly. College, Grad School, marriage, kids, divorce, re-marriage, great times - brutal times.

When I was fourteen, it was a very good year. It was the first season that smiled upon me. I wrote and published my first article for a Teamster¿s Union Newsletter. Jimmy Hoffa hadn¿t gone missing yet, so my article was anything but sensational. The article I wrote focused upon the history of the A&P supermarkets; nothing spectacular; but I was published!

I was quickly transported to the fall of 1982; the year when I published my second article. I was an educator for thirty-years in various high schools, and began to regularly submit articles to various newspapers and magazines in the field of education. I had the moxie and ability to write grants for my school districts, which brought in considerable sums of funding.

I was also able to speak at national education conferences, which helped to merge my writing with presentations on the results of my grants. In the 1990¿s I also wrote articles in the area of ¿old west¿ history, specifically about the town of Tombstone and some of its most notable citizens.

In addition, and most importantly, I have shared my wife¿s ministry for the past twenty-four years. She is a pastor who works with the Hispanic community.
