Where are we to turn? The answer is not to be found so much in an external solution to man's problems as it is in an internal one. Each of us should take an inventory in our own heart and mind of where we put our trust. Where do we have a sense that there is something secure; on what are we counting, on what are we banking? The test boils down to putting our trust in God. this test will take a different form for each of us. If we are counting on our retirement, Social Security, or investments, then that god is goingo to fail. If we are counting on medical science for our health, then we are going to be tested there, and that god is going to fail us. If we are counting on being a member of the right church, we are going to be tested there. And so each of us will be teste specifically inthose places where we have placed our trust.

He was all but ready to give it up. the only thing that persuaded him to remain in this field was a reading he had given for Uncle Ike that was so extraordinarily accurate that in following the advice given, his uncle was relieved of great pain.
Dr. Ketchum had written
him a letter saying "We'll set you up in your studio and give you what
you need in order for you to give a couple of readings a day. This is going
to be your life work."...... CONTINUE
