Brother, if you have taught any children, whether yours or others, about the Son of God and His gift for us, you are to be commended.
My life situations changed more in 6 months than it had or has at any point of my life before or since. When a man goes from being happily married to widower to finding a female friend who as well nearly dies just when you think you have a possible future together, she survives but never to walk, and you then marry and become a step parent all in six months time it changes a person a bit.
Change was to come within a week of almost loosing my new found at the time girl friend. The change came from what was called by Baptist as the laying on of hands for healing. But they weren't laid on me but her. Still I was in the room. I was the one who received the answer to it in a very distinct and absolute profound certain way. The rest was acting in faith despite family and friends questioning my sanity :>}
