My parents were Christian, (Lutheran Church Canada, LCC which is related to Lutheran Church Missouri LCM synod) and so when I was born, (September 29 1951) I was baptized shortly thereafter. The first years of my life I was like the Israelite's wandering around the desert. I didn't do any evangelizing even though as a child I had often prayed that I would be able to bring non-believers to Christ. All the time, going through school and the various jobs I found my peers did not listen to me and when ever I did start to talk, they would talk over me like I didn't exist. I had been working at NCP (North Central Plywoods) for 30 years (Half my life) from March 9th 1978 – May 26 2008 when the mill burnt down. That was a blessing for me. 1 ½ years later I moved to Saskatchewan with Bonnie (A 4 lb Chihuahua) and started driving tank truck in the oil patch. My work schedule allowed me to attend church every third Sunday, and then it was a one-hour drive to get to Church. On my days off I would take Bonnie and drive the two- and one-half hours to Regina and do evangelizing in the hospital and Wascana rehab center. It was that little Chihuahua (Bonnie) that I used to open doors so I could talk to people. My walk with God only got better after that. I lost my job in Saskatchewan and moved back to Prince George BC. When Bonnie passed away, in my arms at 8:35 AM on October 1st 2017, I was lost. I knew I needed another little Chihuahua to continue doing what I was doing. Grace Bonnie was 3 months old when I got her on November 08 2017. I got a job driving school bus and in my off time I would go to the hospital, here in Prince George and spend at least 2 hr a day visiting with patients. I believe one of the administration personal at the hospital, who talked to me, did not like me visiting with patients and had me band from the hospital for 2 years. I will be charged with "Criminal Trespass" if I go in the hospital, or step foot on hospital grounds. I would not walk into someone's room with out being invited. Since that time, I have had many people who's spouse had died after a visitation and thank me for putting a smile on the faces of these people at a time when they were sorrowful. Since I moved back to Prince George, I have accumulated a large library of Biblical resource books (numerous Bible commentaries, Bible dictionaries, 2 exhaustive Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic concordances. Since then I have been writing explanation to various Bible verses and sending one out every day to about 100 different people. Most of these people are strangers that I had met once. I find it to be a blessing to be able to do this work for my Lord. I am excited to be of any help to fellow Earthlings.
