Lives Being Changed

Letter written to HOPE Ministries while we were conducting revival services in 2002...
“……when I left my home state to come to Washington DC on business, I left with the hope of never returning to my home state. I tried to take care of those things, back home, that one would take care of if he was intent on this being the final week of his life. I was tired of all the stress, confusion and fear; I would put myself, here in Washington DC, in any dangerous circumstance possible and hope for the worst! I can now see the Devil’s hand in all of this thinking.
Imagine the odds alone of the hotel I am staying at. On any floor above the third floor, the windows are sealed. I found myself though, as an occupant of a room on the tenth floor with a window that was not only unsealed but the latch on the window would not close and out of this window is a good six foot ledge. I arrived Sunday and soon after checking into my room I found myself sitting out on that ledge, just wanting to step out over the edge and end it all.
 Then Sunday evening I went for a walk....and found the H.O.P.E. tent. I loved the music, and at the time, the Daybreak Quartet was singing....I kept having to stop myself from crying I was so touched by how God had placed you here at this time. And last night, Monday night, I returned. I kept listening to the songs and to the message about how great heaven is going to be. And how there is going to be no more pain and no more tears, you have no idea what God has done in my life and how he has changed my life.”
