I will be teaching linear algebra this semester. It has been awhile
since I have taught this but it is a great deal of fun to get back into the
"world of lin al". I have been watching many hours of MIT open courseware
in preparation for the class.

My Dad's Book
My father last year finished writing a book and my brother and I finally got
it published. It is titled "How Big is Your God?" and dedicates one
chapter each to the different names Scripture gives to God in the Old Testament.
You can go to Amazon and buy it now, yea!!!! In the search box put the
title and my fathers name - Richard Pettitt. I had no idea how long it
would take to get this done, but we are certainly excited that it is out there
now.
Warren's Family
My Wife
Deborah is my wife of 40 years. That can not be possible. She
has a fantastic heart for the Lord and works at the Family Christian
Counseling Center of Phoenix. She is the Director of the Center and her
greatest desire in all the world is to see hurting children come to
wholeness in Christ. If you want to see a place that puts a smile on the
heart of God I suggest you stop by for a visit. They are located at
1300 East Missouri Street, Suite A200 in Phoenix. Here are a few
photos of my fantastic family - Click on an image and it will stop rotating and
enlarge. Click again and it will spin.
My Daughter
Keturah is my daughter and is married to a wonderful young man - Aaron.
They both have a heart for developmentally disabled young people and adults.
They live in a community called Goldensun that works with about 20
developmentally disabled adults (Keturah is working at Goldensun).
Aaron is now working for a nonprofit organization called Toby House (now
part of Magellan Health Services) which has about 20 houses located
around the valley. The Mission of Toby House is to
provide peace and happiness for adults living with serious mental illness.
Again, if you want to go to a place that brings a smile to the heart of God
I suggest you stop by there house on a Monday night (Goldensun community
supper night) to experience the love of God.
My Son
Jeremy is back from Korea and has just married a fantastic young lady -Siwon- who is the
love of his life. They are staying with us for awhile and it is so much fun to
get to know this young lady, she has a love for life that is contagious.
Pray for them as they look for jobs and try to find a place to stay in Phoenix.
My Grandchild
Caedmon brings way to much joy into the life of Deborah and I. What does he
like to do? Lets see I think it is flay football season now, next it will be basketball and after that baseball. Saturday mornings are usually
taken up watching goals, hoops, and runs scored. When he spends a night with Nana and Papa Peter Piper is
always around the corner.

Courage
Our Therapy Dog
Courage is a 6 year old Portuguese Water Dog who goes to work 3 or 4 times a
week with Deborah. The Family Christian Counseling Center puts
him to work helping children heal. I often look at him and think....
how can I get a job where all I have to do is go to work and play with kids?
