Greg's Story
Life
I left High School and San Antonio and went to California. During hard times, I asked God to reveal Himself to me, and who I should follow, buddha, karate, kung fu, Confucious, Edgar Cayce, astrology, mu, atlantis, egyptology. I wanted to know. A week later in a very hard moment I cried out to God that if He was there to show me, and that if He wasn't, then ... then it dawned on me the hardest reality of all, that if He wasn't there, I didn't care to even live another day. That's the truth. Why? Without Him the world stinks, frankly.
But that night was the finest in my life to that point because He showed Jesus to me, and I cried the first time in years. I had new eyes and a new heart and a new Spirit within me. I returned to San Antonio, went on a double date instead of to church, and got my back broken. I had been forewarned by some man who spoke like a Christian fortune teller, who knew who I'd be with and what would happen. Of course, like you would, I thought he was nuts. Everything he said happened the next day. And I was crippled waist down. I should have known better. After all, that experience in California was one of those real light from heaven events.
I got out of the hospitals and rehabs and went to Bible college, of course. I've tried my hand at different things, but my favorite is praying, singing and preaching because there's nothing like the presence of the Lord in your life. The tangible presence of the Lord. That's where I want to live and no where else.
I write music, Christian and Country, and am in the process of completing studio work on CD now, April 2005. I just want to live in peace and blessings. I am writing several books, one a guide to prayer. I look forward to the Lord leading me to that special place where I can hide in Him and live each day praising His name and blessing others. I may find that at Bible College again, or with a ministry. Right now I preach here and wait, and wait on Him.

the margins around me. That's not fun to see, but then, He keeps us through it all. I recently told Him, it's been a long time for a man to sit in a wheelchair, 32 years almost in April, and that for Him 1000 years was easy. Just like a day. But not for men. 32 years is more than half many men's lives. Well, that was Wednesday morning last month. That Wednesday night, the pastor spoke out and said, looking at me, "I know it's been a long time. I knooooow it's been a long time. But I have you where I want you. I have you where I want you to prepare you." The exact same words I prayed that morning. That happens a lot for me nowadays. I call them "Confirmations from God". I have two notebooks full of notes on confirmations like that for the last year. He will be with us in the storms of life. A chorus I know goes like this: In that Rock, I'll hide. In His shadow, I'll abide. When the storms of life come sweeping over me, in the Rock Christ Jesus I'll hide.
I collect antiques, collectibles, got degrees in Psychology and Spanish from Trinity, write songs and books, and more, but the most fine thing in my life is my walk with Jesus and His Father, our walk together. He will be with us in trouble to deliver us.
Romans 8:
11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God
16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God
18) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us
27) And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. See, somebody special is praying for me. Saint refers to followers of Jesus. God watches over me.
