We are so honored that you have visited us today. I would like to personally take this opportunity to first of all say thank you! To all of our friends and family at GNT, thank you for your love, kindness and faithful support. I Corinthians 13:4 says, “Love suffers long and is kind.” You are all a true testimony to His loving kindness.

Secondly, I would like to update you all on what has been going on around the home front. I sometimes have a hard time talking specifically about myself. I just tend to think, who would be interested in all these details? But, I recently heard a sermon by Bishop Paul Zink that talked about the need to share our testimonies. As he explained, we have lost the gift of sharing with others, to our children and grandchildren, the life changing stories about what good things the Lord has done in our lives. So, I would like to share my story about how good God is.

December 10, 2006, is marked down in my journal as a day that changed my life.

As I was leaving a church service in Scottsboro, AL and heading to another in Fayette, AL, someone hit my vehicle. The impact sent my vehicle spinning out of control. After rolling the vehicle multiple times, I landed on my side. When the emergency responders arrived, they had to cut me out of the vehicle, because of the angle at which it had landed. By this time, my wife, Paula, and daughter, Deliska, had driven up and realized that mine was the vehicle in the crash. Deliska recalled how amazed she was that at as she watched them pull me from the vehicle, there were no signs of blood. Viewing the severity of the crash sight through natural eyes, the scene should have been much worse. They took me to the hospital and I was released that night. I had no broken bones and no open wounds. The most amazing thing was, I was alive! Since then, I have had to undergo a battery of tests, as my shoulder and back have suffered some damage. In fact, I am recovering from recent shoulder surgery right now. But, I am here to report to you today that GOD IS GOOD! I am amazed at the mercies of our Lord. He keeps each of us in His hand.
