Thank you so much for your encouragement and prayers, God has been testing my faith, i have quit drinking and smoking (maybe 1 or 2 cigerettes a week) I was a heavy smoker and the Lord is taking tobacco out of my life… the beer is alot easier to not endulge in. He has put my in a position to minister to a few people and I have been able to read my poetry to an audience of elderly people at lunch. They want me to come once or twice a month this is a answer to prayer because nothing is coming up with my writings, no publishers, maybe i don’t really try to publish. The Lord God Almighty has adding a painful tooth ache in my life 10 days ago then another one a loose tooth next to the one that was pulled, I got that one pulled today and I don’t have any pain right now thank God. Any way I have to read more of the e mail you send me because it is righteous stuff, God bless you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I have started reading the Bible again from the begining and have finished Genesis and am now on chapter 16 where Moses crosses the Red Sea, the word of God is encredible and I find something new everytime I read it, of course I skep around I read paslm 45
to my elderly people two weeks ago and the Hound of Heaven by Fransis Thomson, God bless you in Christ Jesus.
