Why am I so blessed? It is the question that has bothered me for many years and perhaps I will never know the answer. You must understand that I do not feel worthy of His blessings. I am just a normal man with normal desires and yes I do have thoughts that are not pure. I have done things which I should not have done and still He has blessed me mightily.

As a young man I would never have suspected what He held for me. I had my problems and one of them was communicating with the opposite sex. I had been laughed at and made fun of because of the way I spoke but there was nothing I could do about it but not speak.
