Nahum 1:7 says: The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in HIM.  This means that the Lord is good.  The Lord God has been good to me all of my life.  Even though I have strayed from Him for several years of my life.  God was always available to pick me up from the ground. Meaning, I have done my own thing for 18 years of my life that was contrary to Him.  I asked Him to bring me back to life on Wednesday May 2, 1990.

I asked Him to please remove my desire to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana and other drugs.  I went to treatment for drugs and alcohol.  I stayed in treatment for 90 days.  From June 1,1990 until September 1, 1990!  I was at the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center on Patterson Boulevard in Dayton, Ohio until I left Dayton, Ohio headed to Toledo, Ohio for five years from 1990-1996. I had to overcome living in a crack house for three years in Toledo, Ohio until I finished college at the University of Toledo.  I worked in the Toledo Ohio Area as a library worker for four years.  I worked as a Youth Counselor for three years.  I left Toledo, Ohio headed back to Dayton, Ohio for one year.

From 1996 to 1997, I worked at Sinclair Community College as a bookstore worker for one year.  After my year was over, I went to Charlotte NC for 12 years.  I worked at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte NC Library for eight years.  I was homeless for one year living at the Men’s Uptown Shelter until I was able to get an apartment at the Charlottetown Terrace Apartments for two years.  I worked and lived in the streets of Charlotte NC until I had to leave the state of NC in 2010.  I relocated back to Dayton, Ohio and I have been here for a total of 13 years now.  I have lost my nephew, mother, sister and grandmother during a 13 year period.  I also lost close friends and family as well.  Currently, I have been living here at Wentworth Hi Rise Apartments located in Dayton, Ohio for 13 years now.  I have written three books in 23 years.  I have been clean and sober for 33 years now.
