AS I LOOK BACK ON MY LIFE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE HAD UPS AND DOWNS, TROUBLES AND TRIALS AT TIMES, I HAVE OVER-WHEMINGLY BEEN BLESSED WITH THE GOODNESS OF GOD. MY PARENTS SENT ME TO A CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL, WHERE THE FIRST HALF HOUR OF EACH SCHOOL DAY WAS READING THE BIBLE. A LOVE FOR THE FATHER AND JESUS WAS INSTILLED IN ME FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE. AS A TEENAGER I WOULD READ MY RED LETTER NEW TESTAMENT BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP, ESPECIALLY THE WORDS OF CHRIST, IN RED LETTERS. BELONGING TO THE BOY CUBS AND THEN BOY SCOUTS WAS ALSO SUPER TRAINING AND TEACHING IN MANY THINGS. I WAS BLESSED BY GOING TO A SCHOOL THAT GAVE OUT NO HOMEWORK [WE DID IT ALL IN CLASS DURING THE DAY], AND SO I HAD TIME TO PURSUE LEARNING TO PLAY THE GUITAR AND STEEL GUITAR. I WAS BLESSED WITH BEING CAPTAIN OF OUR HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER TEAM, WHERE YOU LEARN TO WORK AS A TEAM, AND BEING CAPTAIN, SERVE AND LEAD YOUR TEAM MATES.

I WAS BLESSED TO COME TO WESTERN CANADA AT AGE 18; IMMEDIATELY GET WITH A HORSE STABLE THAT DID JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING WITH HORSES...WHAT AN EXPERIENCE THAT WAS. THEN IN MY EARLY 20s I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPRENTICE AS AN ORTHOPEDIC SHOEMAKER, AND ORTHOTIC MAKER. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO HELP AND SERVE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH FOOT PROBLEMS OVER MY LIFETIME. 

THEN IN 1975 I WAS ABLE TO GO FULL TIME INTO TEACHING MUSIC [GUITAR/BANJO/MANDOLIN] - AND HAVE BEEN TEACHING THOSE INSTRUMENTS EVEN STILL TO THIS VERY DAY [SOMETIMES FULL TIME, SOMETIMES PART TIME OVER 40 YEARS]. 

AT THE AGE OF 40 IN 1982 I WAS BLESSED TO BE ORDAINED TO THE MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST - THE GREATEST BLESSING OF ALL. IN 1988 I WAS BLESSED TO MEET THE MAN WHO BUILT ME MY WEBSITE. THEN JESSE WHO BUILT IT MORE FOR ME AND TAUGHT ME HOW TO UPLOAD TO IT BEFORE SHE DIED OF CANCER. THEN TARA CHAPMAN COMING INTO MY LIFE AND FOR HER WORK OF RE-VAMPING MY WEBSITE AS IT IS TODAY. I'VE BEEN GIVEN THE BLESSING OF TEACHING THE TRUTHS OF GOD NOW TO THE WHOLE WORLD. THE BLESSING OF MY YOUTUBE, AND MY BLOG. AND I CANNOT FORGET THE BLESSING IN 2005 OF FINDING AND PURCHASING THE HORSE OF MY BOYHOOD DREAMS - MY "TRIGGER" OF ROY ROGERS FAME - MY BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN PALOMINO - REGISTERED NAME "FINAL TOUCH" - WHO I CALL "GOLDIE." I HAD 16 WONDERFUL  YUEARS WITH HER BEFORE SHE DIED.

THE LORD HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME, SLOW TO ANGER, PATIENT AND MERCIFUL, TOWARDS ME. THERE ARE DOZENS MORE BLESSINGS I'VE HAD, WHERE THE GOODNESS OF GOD HAS BEEN GIVEN AND SHOWN TO ME.

TRULY THE GOODNESS OF THE FATHER AND CHRIST IS WIDE, DEEP AND HIGH.

THEY WILL YET SHOW GOODNESS TO THIS SICK AND SINFUL WORLD, TO ISRAEL AND JUDAH, AND ALL NATIONS, WHEN THEY WILL BRING THE AGE THAT IS TO COME, AS THE BIBLE PROPHETS HAVE FORETOLD, AND THE BLESSING I'VE HAD IN BEING ABLE TO EXPOUND THEM TO YOU ON MY WEBSITE AND BLOG AND YOUTUBE.
