April,
What an amazing story!  I am praying for Don.  We never know when we will 
have the opportunity to witness for the Lord.
Huggs,
Virgie and Hoshi

Subject: Redeeming the paper to redeem a soul!


Hi all,

God is so good.  Tonight Don Drennan came to my house promoting the Columbus 
Dispatch.  At first I was going to say "No, I don't want what you're 
selling."  That still small voice said, "Wait!  Listen!"  I listened.  I 
said, "I think that's good, but my husband will probably say no.  Please let 
me go and ask him."  Had he said "No," I would have left it alone.  However, 
he said "Yes" not knowing of my encounter with the Holy Spirit of God.

"Come in," I said.  "You needn't stand out there to doo the paper work." 
Don began telling me his story of a life of alcoholism and of traveling 
across the state to sell newspapers.  While in Wooster, Ohio, and while 
selling his wares, Mr. Drennan had a heart attack.  He barely made it to his 
car and noticed Wooster General Hospital was to the left.  He turned the car 
in.  They rushed him to a side room.  The doctor said, "You have three 
options:  1.  I can life flight you to Cleveland and you will probably die 
en route.  2.  You can say your pryaers now because you'll die anyway.  3. 
Let me take care of you because I'm the best at what I do."  Obviously, we 
want the best for ourselves, so Don put his trust in that one man during 
that one moment to save his lif4e.

"Don," I said, "There is something I must share with you.  You trusted that 
one man for that one moment, and another greater than he wants you.  Jesus 
Christ wants you to trust Him in this one moment for your very life. 
Eternity is a very long time to spend without our God.  Just think!  The 
opportunity is here for you right now.  The doctor fixed your broken heart 
and Jesus wants to heal your broken heart and He wants you!"  Don said, "You 
know, you've said something I've not heard before."  I said, "I would like 
you to read John Chapter 3 when you rest tonight.  If you have a Bible, 
please read it. I'm reading your newspaper, now you can read mine."

I gave Don my e-mail address, and it's the best unnecessary $20 I ever 
spent.  Please pray for Don Drennan.  Actually, the papers I get will have 
coupons in them that our kids can use, too, so a little bit of "savings" 
wcould be in the works for all of us.  Please pray for Don.
