GOOD THINGS HAPPENING 3

 A little background to this story.  I have been a fan of The Waltons from the beginning of the series.  In 2017 I attended the 45th anniversary celebration of the show in Schuyler, Virginia, the small hamlet where the series' creator Earl Hamner, Jr., was born and raised.  Perhaps I can share a bit more about that in a future post.

During that weekend in March 2017 I met Reen Christie Bula (a/k/a Tammi Bula), who played John-Boy's love interest Marcia Woolery in the early seasons.

Here is a shot of Reen and me,



As well as a shot of all the cast member in attendance at the reunion with the exception of Michael Learned who went to bed early due to a play appearance the following day.

During the weekend Reen, her husband Gordon and I shared time together, and she shared with me her testimony, how she came to the Lord through the witness of friends (she was working as an RN at the time) and how she saw the sign of Pi in the sky one day which prompted her to check out John 3:14-16, leading her to believe in Jesus' sacrifice for her sins.

Since then we have corresponded from time to time through the internet, and I invited her to share with our GO ENGLISH CLUB children one Friday afternoon.  She graciously accepted and last Friday she joined us where she shared her story and her love with the kids who attended.





 It was such a blessing to have Reen and her passion for Jesus with us.  Please pray that God will continue to use her for His glory every day.  She has also written a book The Most Perfect Girl.  Check it out on Amazon and other book venues.

I will conclude this post with a photo of Reen from her days on The Waltons (1972-1977).  Thanks, Reen, for your kindness and generosity.
