This piece was one that could have taken so many different directions. There are so many stories from this one interview that I would love to share with you. Stories of life in Mexico, working on a ranch, working with George Romney when he lived in El Paso. There’s the story rabid cats and dogs, or one of the Pratt children chasing down a guy that was peering into her window. There are stories of the busloads of people that would show up at their home looking for a place to sleep as they went from Mexico or South America to the Temple in Albuquerque, New Mexico – there are just so many stories I didn’t know what to share!

So many stories!

While talking to the Pratts I was struck by their marriage, their life when they first met, how and when they finally married. That story, this one part of their life, that’s what I’ve decided to share.

Seventy-three years of marriage. That’s a long time - 73 years. I’ve only been married for two years and cannot even begin to fathom seventy-three years of marriage. Vera and Gerald Pratt have been married that long, seventy-three years!

This video is the whole conversation between the Pratts and myself. It was really hard, narrowing the article I wrote down to one story. I wanted to share it all! So, here it is. You'll love this!

This is part of an article I wrote with the El Paso Herald-Post. If you would like to read that piece, simply follow the link below:

Eva Mozes Kor is a Holocaust survivor. Along with her twin sister Miriam, Kor was subjected to human experimentation under Josef Mengele at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War 2. She lost both of her parents and two older sisters to the Holocaust; only she and Miriam survived.

This is my conversation with Eva Mozes Kor about hope - how did she find hope during the darkest days of her life and how can we find hope today. My telephone call with her was one that has helped me change my way of thinking and my outlook on life.

“Church comes from the Greek Εκκλησία [Ekklisía], meaning ‘called out ones,’” says Evangelist Robert Juma of Kenya. “It means people who have obeyed the terms of the Gospel according to the New Testament. Church is important because it is through the Church that God’s kingdom is preached and thus expanded.”

This episode of Still Going Somewhere we are talking about Church and why it's important. You will hear from Chevy Cortez, Ken Peters, Father Abouid, Chantilly Zimmerman and me, Steven Zimmerman.

There is an article at the El Paso Herald-Post that is connected to this episode. Be sure you give that a read as there is more there than is found in this episode.
