The strongest and deepest of all statements that Jesus revealed to me personally was when I read that a disciple of Christ must be willing to “forsake his own life” (Luke 14:26). My prayer was that this would occur. Eight years later, I began what has become four years as a participant and now a live-in chaplain at a rescue mission in California. My significant transformation as a member of a new family and now as a friend and brother to the broken-hearted and the forgotten has opened my eyes and my pen. I have spent my last few years teaching, counseling, encouraging, and comforting those people who are God’s gifts to me, as well as attending Bible college and being grandpa and father to my children and granddaughter, which includes a few Chanterelle trips in the winter and fishing trips in the summer.vizualizați mai puține
