Capt. Jim Burnsed and parents M.G and Sara Burnsed |
M.G. Burnsed will celebrate his 90th birthday in September and still walks the 2 miles every morning to Bowman's Beach and back.
The couple past 66 years of marriage Valentines Day 2011.
M.G. grew up on the farm lands of south Georgia and Sara was the daughter of a fishing guide off the coast of South Carolina. I don't know how they met, but I know that M.G. swayed Sara with his pretty blue eyes and they eloped
Dedicating their lives to the service of Jesus Christ, M.G.
responded to the calling of the ministry at the age of 33 . He worked full time as a paint and body man, and full time as a pastor for the Nazarene church. Sara was always the woman behind the man, raising 3 children Pat, Capt, Jim and Capt. Joe Burnsed and filling the large shoes as the Pastors wife. Somewhere along the line M.G. was able to give up his job doing auto body work and put all his energy into the preaching of the gospel.
They have been wonderful parents and we are blessed as a family because of the christian example they have always been. Thanks Mom and Dad
