David said, “I waited patiently for the LORD; He TURNED to me and HEARD my cry. He LIFTED me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He SET my feet on a rock and GAVE me a firm place to stand. He PUT a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.” (Psa. 40:1-5) This makes me think about and be thankful for the day the Lord saved my soul. I was addicted to alcohol, drugs and an evil life style. The Lord overwhelmed me with godly sorrow, I felt so unworthy to be in is His presence but there He was, open before me, I cried out “I’m so sorry” and a GREAT WEIGHT was lifted from me. I was saved May 17th 1972, two days later sanctified and dumped all my Acapulco Gold Marijuana and bottles of alcohol down the toilet, then on the 26th filled with the Holy Spirit. I pastored in Washington State for 17 years, came to Cleveland Tn to computerize the International Offices then became a Chaplain for the Cleveland High School football team for 15 years suffered a very severe stroke in 2011 and have been publishing a Spiritual blog since then.
“Many will SEE and FEAR the LORD and put their trust in Him. Many, LORD my God, are THE WONDERS YOU HAVE DONE, the things you planned for us. None can COMPARE WITH YOU; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be TOO MANY TO DECLARE.” (Psa. 40:1-5)
