y testimony may seem boring to you, but once you think about it, it is a very powerful one. Mine is not one of being brought out of alcohol, drugs or abuse. I am not from a broken home, my parents did not abuse me. I have a loving wife of 42 years and a daughter of 32 that has attended the seminary for a Christian Counselling Masters Degree.

My testimony is one of “out of”. By “out of”, I mean out of alcohol, out of drugs, of abuse. So for 64 years I have not had to deal with any of those issues. Now to me that is a lot of grace that God has poured on me. I have struggles in life, I have lost two sons to early deaths. One after only 45 minutes of life and one of 24 years. The one of 24 years still hurts, even after 13 years. My hope rests in seeing him again when my time on this Earth is over.

So those of you who are struggling, be assured, if GOD has the grace and mercy to watch over me for 64 years and keep me “out of”, He has the power to bring you “out of” your struggles and pain.
