Dear Sharon H.

Yes, The Bible does work, as it has helpped me a great deal even with 
my anxiety and fear.

I'm Praising God for your remarkable recovery, and keep on Praying 
and trusting God!

Here's a testimony of faith on my part with God's Blessings!

Vernon and his brother Dean built all the Kitchen cupboard doors for 
our Sister-In-Law, Kathleen, in Alabama, last fall. The Lord put it 
on Vernon's heart to do this for Kathleen since her husband, and 
their younger brother, Lyle who graduated to Heaven last August 
wasn't able to finish her Kitchen Cabinets.

Dean was suppose to go to Alabama with Vernon to help hang the 
cupboard doors, but was not able to go, as he was sick probably from 
the chemo or Cancer, or both.

I did not want to go. I kept telling myself that I wasn't going.

On March 16th, Dean's wife, Betty called us, and told me that Dean 
wanted to talk to Vernon. I told her we would be over after supper. 
Vernon told me that if Dean wasn't able to go with him, that I was 
going to go withhim.

I prayed about this, even though I was scared to travel.

The Holy Spirit told me to go with Vernon to Alabama!

I did go with Vernon. We left from De Smet, South Dakota where we 
live, on March 17th and arrived in Citronelle Alabama on the morning 
of the 19th, and he immediately begin hanging the 30 doors, and I 
helpped where I could. We got the job done in less than 2 days. We 
had everything packed up and ready to travel home by Thursday afternoon.

We left Citronelle, Alabama on Friday morning, and arrived home on 
Saturday evening.

It was a God thing!

I'm happy I obeyed God!

Now, we just got to pray for a Financial Blessing to pay off the 
credit cards we used to pay for the gass for this trip, as we do not 
have the money.

I believe that the gass bills will come to around $1400, as we had to 
drive our Motor Home..

The Bible is real! God is Real! and Heaven Is Real!

I just finished reading the book called: "Heaven Is For Real" by Todd Burpo.

I read it almost in one sitting.

It's a must read, and when the movie comes out in the Theaters next 
Month, I hope to go see it.

I'm waiting for the Movie "Son Of God" to come out in a local theater 
here soon.


Thanks much.

Many Blessings,

Pat Ferguson
