About

Welcome to the rantings, ramblings and life lessons of me, Gordon.

The site name, The Fractured Rock, is a play on my nickname, Rocky, and Matthew 16:18 “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”

I have been married to the same wonderful woman for going on 50 years. We have 2 Sons and 4 grandchildren. We currently live in a beautiful area in East Tennessee With the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in our backyard.

I retired from Philips N.A. at the end of 2014 after 33 years in various roles within Quality and Purchasing. During my career, I had the pleasure to visiting many interesting places in Europe, Asia and South America, as well as 45 of the 50 United States.

My wife and I enjoy golf, gardening, fishing and hiking. I also do woodworking, simple things right now, and maintaining the lawn. We both are the leads in our bible study classes and participate in various activities in our church. Oh, and we also make a joyful noise to TheLord in the Church choir.

I hope you enjoy the gibberish I post on here and perhaps have a little of God’s light shine on your day.
