I was born in Pike County, Kentucky, on October 15, 1949.  My parents are the late Edgar S. and Billie Bentley Osborne.  When I was a child we moved out or the coal fields and ended up in Ashland, KY.  My father worked at ARMCO and my mother was a housewife. 
After I graduated from high school , I attended the University of Kentucky.  Shortly before moving to Lexington I met a Westwood on a blind date.   Her name was Rebecca Jones.  Being away from Ashland and from Becky was pretty tough, but it was tolerable when she agreed to marry me and came to Lexington with me.  Her example, her witness, and her persistent prayers led me to the Lord.
I graduated from UK, and we moved to Middlesboro, Ky.  We joined the First Baptist Church of Middlesboro, where I was baptized by Reverend Truett Miller.  We became involved in the ministries of the Church and still have some dear friends in Middlesboro.  I was ordained as a Deacon in November.
At about the same time we decided to start a family, I had the opportunity to transfer back to the Ashland area.  Our son, Sam, was less than a year old at that time.  Eleven months after transferring back to Ashland, we were blesses with our daughter, Lydia.  Sam presently lives in Lexington, Kentucky, with his wife, Marie.  Lydia is a member here at Fairview, often to be found working in the nursery.
God has blessed me greatly.  His grace has saved me.  His love gives me peace!  His providence gave me family, friends, and the opportunity to live where I can serve Him!  And that, folks, is what I want to do most of all.  I want to be of service to God's people at Fairview Baptist Church.

 I was born 3-28-1943.  We lived at Denton, Ky. until I was 9 years old.  In 1952 our family moved to Itmann, WVa.  My father was a coal miner.  In about 1954 I met my wife to be Billie Jean Browning Pennington.  We dated through high school.  I went into the Army in may of 1960.  When I left home I knew I could not live without her, so I went back and got her.  We married Jan. 17, 1961.  We raised 3 daughters who went to church here all their childhood.
Church didn't interest me until Aprill of 2003.  Billie finally convinced me to come with her.  In October of 2003 I met Jesus and it has never been the same since.  I love the Lord and I love serving him.
