I used to play rock and roll at these bars down here on Bourbon Street for the tourists. I tell you, that was some hard living. I was smoking two packs of cigarettes a day, drinking a case of beer a day, cocaine, marijuana — running behind women. The devil had me. I’d even died and come back. I was a mess. When I woke up in the morning, I just wanted to stay in bed. I didn’t see no point in getting up and facing the world. It got to the point where I was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Nine years ago, I turned my life over to Jesus.

That is such a great picture of you :); my prayers are forever with you and Denise. Keep on witnessing, telling your testimony and living for Jesus. The Lord is rejoicing over the many souls you are touching in a time like today. So stay strong, be encouraged and know that you are building a kingdom that was not made with hands. Some plant, Others water, but God gives the increase, again keep sowing, I Corinthians 3:5-9. I love you.
