More about me :Life has been varied and interesting - I trained as a scientist, taught in several European Universities, then retired to marry John, went to Seminary, worked as a hospital chaplain, went back to College to study music, and am now teaching Greek and Biblical studies at
Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU), am a Chaplain at the hospitals in Clovis and Portales, and run an
InterNet Consulting Service
to help other Churches and non-profit Institutions have a Web Presence. There's a fuller bio. available for a click.
Where we live :We live in Clovis, New Mexico, just 10 miles west of the Texas border. The area is part of the Llano Estacado (the High Plains), a plateau several hundred miles long, at about 4,000 feet above sea level, quite flat and dry. It's mostly rangeland, cattle ranching being one of the main occupations. Clovis itself has tree-lined streets - someone introduced elm trees for shade, and they have seeded themselves like weeds all around the town. Climate is usually hot and dry, but with occasional high winds, thunderstorms, hail, and a bit a snow in winter. Links to :

Cursillo :John and I worked on the Cursillo Teams for the first and second Cursillos in our area. Cursillo is short for "Cursillos de Christianidad" (a short course in Christianity). The original Cursillos took place in Majorca and Spain, in the Roman Catholic Church, and have now spread to other denominations, all over the world. A Cursillo Weekend gives one the experience of living with others in a community, sharing and supporting one another in an atmosphere of joy and caring.

Israel :John and I have visited Israel many times, and sometimes lead pilgrimages from the U.S.A. to Israel. It is after all our spiritual home, but now it feels like coming home as we travel to the great places of the Bible, and meet up with friends we made on earlier visits. If you'd like to join a Christian Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, or to Greece or Europe, please contact us at rollinsondr@yahoo.com Links to : Facts about Israel | Virtual Tour of Jerusalem | The Temple Mount |
