When I have officially repented of all of my sins, it was on Sunday February 15, 2015.  I got baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.  This is when I have completely changed my life.  All of the things that I used to do in the past, I do not do anymore.  For example, I do not drink alcohol anymore or smoke marijuana.  I want to inform everyone that I am a changed man.

What are the four steps of repentance?

The first is responsibility: We must recognize that we have done wrong. The second is regret: We must have true remorse for doing wrong and for the pain and problems we’ve caused. The third is resolve: We must be committed never to repeat the act regardless of the temptations or situation.  I will admit that I went to Kings Mountain two weeks ago.  I went on vacation from December 29, 2021 to January 12, 2022.  I will admit that I had a very good time at Kings Mountain, North Carolina.  I had a lot of fun with my family members.  I also spent over $100.00 dollars gambling at the Casino.  I won $84.00 dollars by playing the slots. 

I have repented of my sins by asking God for forgiveness for gambling at the Casino in Kings Mountain.  I will never go gambling anymore.  I will no longer cast lots anymore.  Casting Lots is gambling in the Bible.  I know that my life has been filled with ups and downs.  It is that, I was spending time with my family in Charlotte, NC. 

I had a lot of fun in Charlotte, NC.  I also spent $200.00 dollars throwing away all of my things at 1-800-Got Junk.  I had to get rid of it because it had mold on it.  I will never keep all of my things in storage that long anymore.  I have learned a valuable lesson.  Never keep a whole lot of stuff in storage or inside of your house because it is a health hazard.  I am very sorry for storing all of my personal things inside of my apartment and in storage.

 Please forgive me everyone.  I had over 300 books inside of three huge boxes as well as all of my other things.  I am very sorry Lord Jesus for keeping all of my things in storage for 13 years.  I am very sorry for keeping all of my mail for the past 3 years inside of my apartment in Dayton, Ohio.  I am very sorry for gambling at the Kings Mountain Casino.  Please forgive me Father God; Lord Jesus!!  I am very sorry!!  I want to inform everyone that I am redeemed!!  I am very sorry for all of the bad things that I have done.  I am asking for your forgiveness!!  I am very sorry. 

I am asking everyone to please forgive me of all of my sins from past to present.  I am very happy that God and Jesus Christ have forgiven me of my sins.  Please keep me in your prayers.
