This book is meant to paint a picture to my grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended families, friends, and loved ones to be attentive to your children. It was not in the closet nor was it a dream. He was an unwelcome visitor that followed me no matter where we moved to. He would always seek me out after everyone went to bed. It seemed like no one could ever see what was going on when he was around. I developed a hatred disposition that was visible. I hated each episode. I just wanted to be left alone. He would always find his way to me. All I wanted was to be free and live childhood and a teenage life. It continued until age fifteen. I prayed that he would disappear, and one day he did. I've been teaching, preaching, singing the gospel for over forty years. I recognize that nothing is more important to me than living a life for God and being an example for Him. Through it all, God kept me and God equipped me with a spirit of discernment in this particular area. When I see it hovering over young males or young females, I am now able to intercede on their behalf. The lifestyle I had before Christ had no character. At that stage of my life, character did not count. I've been told a lot of things by people who are gone on to be with the Lord. So many people have helped me in dire straits throughout my life. Through it all, I thank God for introducing me to those who have helped. Some have gone on to be with the Lord. Some are still here to encourage me to persevere all for Christ Jesus and kingdom building. I'm grateful for those of you. I believe that God wants us to live and enjoy life abundantly. I believe in having godly character because character does count. Abuse--whether verbal, mental, physical, psychological actions or threats, financial, bullying, manipulation, humiliation, injury, or pornographic--is catastrophic and detrimental to one's life and future.
