Please send me your personal testimony. I will put it on this page. I will use your name and e-mail address if you wish. Just tell me what you want me to include with your testimony.
On July 19, 1995, my daughter called me at work to please come home. I was an office manager at that time, so I left the girls in charge and went home. Her boyfriend had come to my home and beat her up. Her poor little face was so battered, well to make a long story short. The young man had threatened her life, and did just what he promised. I believe in God's promise to me. He will never leave or forsake me. That young man shot me 5 times, left me for dead, shot her to death and then killed himself. My whole life changed in the twinkling of an eye. I survived with a gunshot to my head. The bullet never penetrated the skull, but the impact caused left-sided weakness and partial paralysis. But God!! But my God was still in control! I now have custody of her 3 year old little boy, who I believe will have a great impact on today's world. You see, my family is saved and by His grace and mercy I will start to do my father's business by witnessing to young girls about relationships and how satan will send demons to try and snuff you out. But like myself, it isn't easy but I have got a job to do and do it I must. Just like Job I have got to hold on and hold out to God's unchanging hand.

In July of 1985, a scared young boy walked down the aisle of the church and made a choice that would affect the rest of his life. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. As the years went by....A young boy turned into a young man and with it came temptations not always resistable. Alcohol and complications with alcohol took control and my relationship with the one that matters. I lost everything I built in my walk with God. I took a wrong turn and was standing outside Satan's gate about to walk in....
The Lord stepped in, after I had been sober for 8 months, during my freshman year at Mississippi State University. God called me to do work I realized I should have been doing all along. During my sophomore year of High School, I gave up football because I was in deep depression and going through the
motions. I didn't have the heart to go through with football... so I quit and disappointed my father. I watched my best friend blow out his knee on a Friday night from the stands the next year. I cried that night because I couldn't help him off the field. The pressure was mounting from parents and everyone else, so I ran. I went to Mississippi State to get away from
everything, I quit drinking and my relationship with the Lord steadily increased. I started to read my Bible and I realized what a relationship I had with Him in the past. I missed the joy He brought and the self-assurance I had when He was part of my life. Then He spoke. The Lord wanted me to coach football. He wanted the future to have a strong christian role model. He
wanted me to serve him through the sport I once loved. I came home that summer and helped Patrick at the church. I met new friends and had a summer to remember....(thanks Patrick). I am volunteering to coach a church basketball team this winter. All because I quit running.
In Ephesians, Paul says, "Do not drink, which leads to debauchery, instead be filled with the Holy Spirit." When alcohol controls you're life, you cannot have a meaningful relationship with the Lord. The alcohol creates a haze that
clouds your judgement and cuts of communication with the Lord. After I got rid of that haze, My life became meaningful, and I realized my master plan. Put God first in your life and God will bless you......
