Summary

The writer is the youngest daughter of her parents, the wife of Russell Barton, and the mother of their children, Susan and Rusty. Raised in the deep South by his grandparents, the writer's Dad lived with excessive hunger and without electricity in the home. He saw his first light bulb at 14 years old. As a pre-school child he suffered with Bright's Disease, which left him legally blind in his close-up vision, he stuttered in extreme and was terrorized by teachers who forced him to use his right hand though he was left handed. After passing to the fifth grade, he was retreated to the third grade, at which time he was deprived of further schooling by his parents. He was forced to work in the cotton fields though his siblings remained in school. In his latter teens while side harrowing cotton, he experienced his Conversion as he knelt between two plow handles and vowed to "never say, No" to the Lord. His greatest desire to read his Bible became a reality after being miraculously taught by the Holy Spirit, while using a fireplace or a kerosene lamp for lighting. In his mid-years, he faced death with Pancreatitis and during surgery to remove an ear-canal tumor. After an accidental electrocution, he fell twenty-two-feet crushing several vertebras in his back, forcing him to learn to walk again. After surrendering to preach the Gospel, he and the writer's Mother witnessed many unbelievable events while serving as pastor of ten churches, as well as missionaries in Jamaica for 35 years and 25 years in the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. In 1946, the writer's totally European mother delivered a 2 1/2 pound baby while comatose with Jaundice. Her Dad's account of the overwhelming events he experienced being alone with two pre-school children, a comatose wife, and a premature baby that he blanketed, placed in a shoebox, laid on a stove's open door for warmth and fed with a medicine dropper is heart-wrenching. The unfair treatment of some family, church members, and fellow-preachers during their Ministry and Mission work is painful to read. However, their early home-life raising four daughters brings much laughter to their already heartrending story. It is the writer's intent that the reader will be impacted with a deeper desire to become an "overcoming Believer" and as a result of reading her parent's story of intense struggle, so will the reader take all the hurt and pain experienced in life and..."Throw It In the Creek."
