Wayne's Story
OMG.. It seems like ages since those days at Glenn. I had to leave Glenn unexpectedly when my mother became ill and who later passed away from cancer. I got married and six months later found myself in the Army and headed to Vietnam. The war not only changed me but destroyed my marriage. By the grace of God, I made it back home in one piece. However, the war did a number on me and forty two years later I find myself still fighting those demons. I remarried and have two daughters and five grand kids. God has certainly blessed me, for through my grand kids I feel alive again. I'm retired and enjoy every minute of it.
Update August 19, 2015
I will turn 65 in 10 days and I find myself thinking about my life. Was I the best father I could be, the best husband or son, or brother. I've made some mistakes along the way, but each mistake made me stronger, wiser and thankful. While in Vietnam, I could hear a voice warning me of a pending attack. I would even dream it. I was always prepared because of that voice. I thought I was going nuts...Expand for more
. Maybe being around the locals and their cigar size marijuana was making me a little loco. I know to some this story may sound crazy. I want to share this story so that those that suffer from depression, PTSD or the effects of being exposed to Agent Orange, to listen for that voice. I was reminded that when I was a child my mother took me to a revival and it was there when I first heard that voice. I was singing as loud as I could. Everyone was laughing at me, but this voice said I am pleased. For 55 years, I've wondered what it was that I did. When I sing, I sound like a T-Rex giving birth. In any event or to make a long story longer I have accepted the fact that this voice was Jesus. He kept me from giving up when I thought all hope was gone. He kept telling me nothing was going to happen to me. In every event that happened in my life the message was clear. He is in control.... He was pleased.
Thanks for allowing me to tell my story. I hope it helps others that may be searching for someone to tell you, they are pleased.
