I started out as a child, at a very early age. When I was young, my parents moved around a lot, but I always managed to find them again… My name is Wattman, like electricity. I’m a 100-watt kid — I’m very bright. That’s why my daddy calls me son. (“I got a million of ’em!”)

I’m the oldest child of an oldest son and an oldest daughter, and the oldest grandchild on both sides of the family. But I don’t feel old; in fact I’m occasionally surprised when I see photos of myself: Who is that old, balding guy? Perhaps my wife keeps me young—at heart.

I strive to have a childlike faith, trusting completely in my God, to provide and to guide, and to someday welcome me into His presence, not because of anything I have done, but because He lavished me with His grace and called me out of the pit of death and despair into the Kingdom of His glorious light and hope.
