A Testimony?!

July 15th, 1989, is a day I will never forget.
I quit drinking and using drugs.
18 years. WOW!!
Thank God.
One day at a time.
Clean and sober.
June 21st, 2002. I met Margie and fell in love.
A man in love with the negative of life.
Has found love and sobriety.
In sobriety, I found the God who was always there.
Just ask and I received.
We read the bible and talk to God.
We pray, and learn from each other.
We love.
We worship.

Teacher, Brother, Friend.

I met a man, at church, one day...
Heritage Church of God. On Strayer Road, in Monclova, Ohio.
Margie and I came upon the friendliest group of people, we ever
met. And they were only blocks away. How God leads you to miracles !
We were greeted at the door, with smiling faces and folks like us.
We were abit nervous but they made us feel welcome. At home, I thought.
It felt good. We were searching, a couple places, but Heritage was in our own
backyard, literally.
Up front stood a man, and fire and brimstone flowed, like the preachers of old!!
Gods word, had never sounded better.
This man and his family welcomed us home.
Ive learned so much from the man, I call, Teacher, brother, friend.
Life, love, helping others and unselfishness.
..." when I didnt have a dime, he gave me to eat", but thats our secret,
go and do unto others, what I have done for you.
Unconditionally people here lift you up and carry you, and you learn to
carry others. I seen a new parishioner today and shook his hand. I want others
to feel the love, I felt when I walked into Heritage. Today, Margie plays the bells and I play the drums with the praise team.
Praise The Lord !! Sometimes I talk to Pastor Bob more than I talk to my
own brothers... I think Ill call my brother tomorrow.
Thursday we have a mystery dinner. Where we get to know others in the church.
Im looking forward to it. The fellowship, the love,
and new friends.
