One Blessed Man is a chronicle of life from early childhood, through high school, work and on into retirement. The adventures of a young child growing into an adult in small coal mining towns in eastern Kentucky. This is a story of curiosity, mischief, and surviving natural and self-made dangers while learning how and why things work. Known as the 'mad scientist' of his high school, the author and a few of his friends tempted fate on many occasions and lived to write about it.This is also the story of a man finding salvation, and learning how to cope with the sadness of caring for one parent with cancer and another with dementia. By and through the love of God, the author has lived long enough to tell his thought-provoking, sometimes humorous story. Included in this book the reader will also find devotions and Christian poems and prose.
Mr. Webb was born in Jenkins, Kentucky in 1954 to the late Arlie and Kathleen Howington Webb. He has lived in Kentucky all his life and now resides in Pikeville with his wife, Rosanna. They have two children and four grandchildren. Mr. Webb earned a degree in Industrial Safety and Health from Marshall University. He is retired from the United States Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration, where he worked for 38 years in positions that include mine inspector, ventilation specialist, accident investigator and staff assistant. Mr. Webb was working with the newly created Office of Accountability before his retirement. He has been a Christian for more than forty years and is a member of the Pikeville Free Will Baptist Church. His hobbies include writing, photography, electronics, and woodworking, but his favorite pastime is playing with his grandchildren.
