You Wanted Change. You Now Have It! But At What Cost?

My name is Wayne Campbell, and I live in Blacksburg, Virginia… home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. My wife is Dawn Marston Campbell.  We have no children of our own, but numerous nephews, nieces, and god-children.

I graduated from Virginia Tech in 1965, with a B.S. in Physics.  After earning a PhD in Nuclear Physics in 1969, I accepted a job with Pan American Petroleum Company in Houston, Texas, as a geophysicist.

Dawn and I moved to Houston in October, 1969.  Pan American was the exploration arm of Standard Oil of Indiana (Amoco), and I remained with Amoco until I retired in 1987.  The last ten years of my career were spent at the Amoco Research Lab in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In May, 1998, Dawn and I returned to Blacksburg to spend the rest of our lives in this wonderful place.

We are both registered Republicans and ardent supporters of conservative causes.  Our faith is in Jesus Christ, and we believe that America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.  Furthermore, when America ceases to be a Judeo-Christian nation, America will cease to be… and the journey has begun.

The election of 2008 is probably the most important election in the history of this nation… and might be the last one as a free society.  Hyperbole?  Perhaps.  Possible?  You bet.  Look how far we have strayed in the past couple decades, and these things speed up with time… not slow down.

If God does not intervene… if Christians do not humble themselves before the Creator… God’s hand will be removed from this once-great nation.  We will become like France… or Sweden… or German.  Mere shadows of our former selves.  This is serious business… God’s business.

Pray, read, pray, think, pray, judge, pray, vote.  And do not forget for one moment that we exist ONLY by the grace of God.  We exist for His pleasure… to worship Him and to do His will.
