Keith's Story

Life MY Bio. wow, what I was, dark, what I am is God's gift to me through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, what I am becoming is more like Jesus, God said it and I believe it. As you may opine, my life has changed dramatically from the young age of 45 till now. I am alive and well in Bay Point Ca. with my gift from God, my wife Gayle and the last of three daughters, Elizabeth 14 the other two daughters are Shannon who is married to Karsten and they have two wonderful daughters Audrey and Lucy, they live in Berlin, way to far away and then there is Rebeca who lives a few miles away in Pleasant Hill with "friends" and is thinking of going back to school,"you go girl",My daughter by my first marriage to Becky is Regina who is married and lives in Bermuda, that completes my family. by for now. PS Rebeca our 26 year old who moved in after a rocky fling with a not to nice guy, just moved out and is flying on her own, well not completely on her own she is with child, yep I am going to have a grandson, some time in January, unlike my other grand kids in Germany this one will be close enough to get spoiled. more to come as time goes on. God Bless, Keith PPS, Grand son is here as of 2/20, there are pictures in album, check him out. PPSS.well I made it to 65 and counting, hope to work till 70, God willing although my memory is getting full and there are times I have brain fade but all in all , in the words of Rocker Jo Walsh, "Life's been good to me so far", actually It's God's been good to me so far and will continue to be good to me, that's a promise through his word I hold on to, it's His promise by His word the Bible, He is not a man that he should lie, and his arm is not to short that he can't reach out and be a help in times of trouble, He has done it for me time and time again, and he can and will for you, if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You may be saying Amen! or you may be saying something opposite like **** Christian, I don't know about you but I wake up every day with a promise that if I don't wake up, I will wake up with Him. I was not always of this mind set, or heart set, I believed that what I was living was it, and after that nothing, Like Jimmy Hendrix said" there ain't no life no where, so I lived that way, lawlessness, covetousness, rebellion, and on and on, if I didn't break all the commandments physically I broke them in my heart, then after 45 years of Godlessness, He touched my heart, He opened up the eyes of my understanding, He put in me a new spirit and spiritually made me a new creation in Christ Jesus, oh I still sin, but unlike before, I am convicted and call out to him in repentance and continue on, knowing that he already forgave me because of what Jesus Christ did on the Cross. He paid the price for a Christian's sins. does that mean that I can continue to sin and it's all good, God forbid, it's that I now have and advocate in Christ Jesus so that I take my sins to him and he forgives, you see im not perfect and will continue to sin because I still have a sin bent, not a sin nature, and wont be perfected until I am face to face with my savior, but I have a savior unlike BC, I had my self and thought my self-autonomous, what a let down especially as I became older and discovered I was not bullet proof and had no hope, then at 45 he opened my heart and I believed, If this is all crazy talk to you then, not to worry, He has not opened up your spiritual eyes to his truth and it wont make sense to you, but if this has any ring of understanding , and you have not trusted Christ as your savior,...Expand for more
just ask him to show him self to you and give you the faith to believe and He will, all others that read this and know him , can I get an amen. 6/18/11: catch me on FB Well I am back from a financial vacation, to broke to pay the classmates bill, but after a windfall/financial blessing from God, I got some moneys and back I am. I got stupid and got fired after 14+ years went to family provider to family pariah, unemployment denied and family lost medical and dental. You know, as a Christian I have learned that the darkest hour is just before the dawn, and it was true once again, I had never applied for any help in my life, so I swallowed my foolish pride and got food stamps well fair and medical for me and my family while my social security kicked in, my appeal for unemployment was granted, got off of well fair and am making to much to continue on medicare but am investigating medical options, oh yeah, also got a part time job at my church as janitor, so all in all am making more than I was working, that won't be for long however as my unemployment will run out in a few months, when that happens I wonder what God will have in store for me and family, to be continued. 6/22/12 One year has flown by, been improving our home, sheet rock, pergo floors, crown molding, and vinyl windows, floors were a gift, and the rest of the improvements were self installed with a lot of help from a few friends, unemployment is running out so I need to do as much as I can to lower utility bills and make the interior look good for when I will have to live on less than 2,000.00 a month(s.s. and a part time job), need the walls to look good so when we are staring at them the sight is pleasant. enough whining. My Grand son is growing by leaps and bounds, probably smarter than yours, and if God allows I may be able to teach him a little about God's creation in the form of camping, I can still back pack so I might be blessed enough with the help of ibuprophen to take him camping in a few more years, well gotta go for a walk, getting in shape for a back pack trip to thipitite valley/kings cnyn. area with my brother Rick in a few days, till another time, may God richly bless you all. 3//18/2015 Happy St. Paddys day a day late, just put on the corn beef and sat down for a little update. We had a 50 year class reunion 2014, wow a lot of old people, me included, it was a lot of fun seeing people that I hadn't seen in as long as 50 years and as short as less than a year, looking back we at livermore lived in a great time of our lifes, move in around 1954 when there was 6,000 people and 1000 people in Pleasanton a lot of great memories, wish I knew what a blessed upbringing I had at the time, oh well youth not spent verry wisely but definantly spent with reckless abandonment. Now I am still the same as the last post execpt for a few years older, 69 and feeling fine, and me Grandson Is still living with us and at 5 yers old is kind of tough for this old man but I wouldn't have is any other way, he is like a son that I never had and after all those daughters what a difference, wow. I am still working part time but as a janitor at united methodest church in Concre, ca, 50% more per hour and 40% more time than my other janitor job. God is good at providing as I was going in the hole every month and now am able to stay in the black with my nose just above water to breath a little, God knows what would happen if he gave me too much, I would rely on the money and not on him, I know this as it has happened befor more than once. well thats all for now, Keith out.
