He looked so calm as he sat there, and I thought you are not cursing me out today! Well! Just then I heard, "Tell him can get to Heaven before you." My response was, " Lord I am not talking to this drug addict!" I heard it again, "Tell him he can get to Heaven before you, and that when you are down, the only place you can go is up!" The WORD of God rang out loud and clearly from Luke 13:30 saying, "And indeed there are last who will be first, and there a

NOTE: At a baptismal service on the Western End of the Island, twelve mostly young people were baptized. To me it was not business as usual, and turning to go to my hotel room....my husband and I walking through the door, I heard these words, " I want to climax with you. " To my dismay, it was not my husband who said those words. Yet it was only the two of us there. I was completely blown away!
