This is my testimony, it’s never easy to give, but this is my way. A gift was given to me and I give it to you. Believe me when I say that I don’t deserve this blessing. I was alcoholic and violent. I abused and used every person who was close to me. I believed everybody owed me for what I’d been through in my life. I opened the door to that life and failed miserably (more than once). I also opened the door for Jesus to come into my life; saved and redeemed, I received a gift and this is it: to convey the message of salvation in these writings. Highs and lows, good and bad, dark and light, it’s all here; this is my life. My ship was sinking into the deep dark sea of depression when Jesus took the helm. The rudder is now straight, the mast tall, the sails full and the navigation systems perfect with our eyes to the east. Praise God forever for His new beginnings, new mercy and His wonderful, powerful grace.
