When Tony and Pat Tharp’s San Angelo home flooded in the early morning hours of July 4, 2025, life changed in an instant. What began as a temporary place to stay at Baptist Retirement Community soon became something much more meaningful: a new home, a simpler way of life, and a renewed sense of purpose.
In this compelling video, the Tharps share their story of loss, faith, resilience, and discovering that even an unexpected change can lead to a place of belonging. At Baptist Retirement Community, they found friendly neighbors, less daily stress, and new opportunities to use their life experience to encourage others. Their journey is a powerful reminder that purpose does not end with a new chapter. Sometimes, it begins there.
