TRUE STORY-ONE NIGHT- BACK WHEN I WAS LIVING IN DESTIN, FL AND WAS THE CHEF AT THE FLAMINGO CAFE- 1884 OR 85- I WAS OUT, WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF FRIENDS, ROLLING HARD AND PARTYING AT THE HOGS BREATH SALOON IN FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AS WE HAD SHUT DOWN THE BARS IN DESTIN- I SAW A FELLA- A BRAVE MAN, FEARLESS, LIKE A LION! THIS FELLA, WHO I NOW KNOW TO BE A TRUE MAN OF GOD, WAS PREACHING IN FRONT OF A BAR. PEOPLE WERE HURLING BOTTLES, CANS, AND HAVR LEFT DRINKS AT THIS MAN, BUT, HE STOOD HIS GROUND!!!! PEOPLE WERE CURSING AT THIS MAN, WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT JEREMIAH 25:5-7 NKJV. THEY SPAT HIS WAY, SOME THREATENED HIM PHYSICALLY. HE CONTINUED ON - HANDING OUT BIBLE TRACKS, PREACHING, BEGGING PEOPLE TO STOP AND THINK! REPENT! TURN AWAY FROM SIN AND TO THE LORD!!!! I- BEING THE SMART ALEK I WAS- WENT UP TO THAT MAN AND WHISPERED INTO HIS EAR- I SAID, MISTER, I PROMISE YOU THAT I WONT COME ROLLIN AND DRINKING UP IN YOUR CHURCH, IF YOU JUST PROMISE TO QUIT PREACHIN UP IN MY BARROOM! HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS AN IDIOT- WHICH I WAS- AND WENT BACK TO PREACHIN, AS HARD AS HE COULD,TALKIN ABOUT JEREMIAH 25:5-AND HANDIN OUT THOSE TRACKS!!!! NOW, I WAS PARTYING HARD- I IGNORED THE MAN- AND WENT BACK TO THE TASK AT HAND!!! GETTIN HAMMERED!--------- THE REST OF THE NIGHT WAS A BLUR... AND THEN A BLACKOUT!!! NOW I DO REMEMBER THAT WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE ON THE WAY OUT THAT NIGHT THAT I WAS DRIVING, HAD $850 ON ME- I HAD ON PRESSED JEANS, NICE SHOES, AND A BRAND NEW SNOW WHITE BUTTON DOWN LONG SLEEVED RALPH LAUREN POLO SHIRT, WITH HEAVY DUTY STARCH FROM THE CLEANERS. THAT SHIRT WAS SO WHITE THAT IT SEEMED TO GLOW!!!! THE NEXT MORNING- I CAME TO, I DID NOT WAKE UP, I CAME TO- ALL ALONE, WITH ALL MY CLOTHES AND SHOES STILL ON(THAT SHOOK ME UP CUZ I WAS ALWAYS A REAL NEAT FREAK, AND, WOULD ALWAYS GET UNDRESSED AND PUT MY DIRTY CLOTHES AWAY, ORGANIZE ME SHOES, BRUSH MY TEETH,ETC.----BEFORE GOING TO BED. ANYWAY, I FOGGILY GOT OUT OF BED AND CHECKED MY POCKETS, KEYS, ID, BUT NO MONEY?????? ---LOOKED AROUND NO MONEY ANYWHERE--I NOTICED THAT I KINDA ACHED AND HURT WHEN I MOVED CERTAIN WAYS. OUCH! WHATS THAT ACHE FROM???? WELL, I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM, AND I WAS HORRIFIED AT WHAT I SAW!!!- I WAS COVERED WITH DIRT, BLOOD, SCRAPES CUTS!-- DIRT COVERED ME FROM HEAD TO TOE- SANDY ORANGE DIRT, PEBBLES FALLING OUT OF MY HAIR!! THAT SHIRT I WAS SO PROUD OF WAS RIPPED TO PIECES- ABOUT HALF OF THE LEFT SIDE WAS GONE, TORN OFF-MY WHITEE T-SHIRT BENEATH IT LOOKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN TWISTED ABOUT 400 TIMES, DIRTY BLOODY- MY LIP HAD A GASH IN IT AND I HAD A BLACK EYE- I COULD GO ON, BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS ALARMING!!!! BROKE, BEAT UP, A MESS, CONFUSED, DIDNT REMEMBER ANY OF IT!!! SCARY, ALARMED, WONDERING??? WELL, I CALLED A FRIEND OF MINE THAT SAID THAT I JUST WENT OFF THE DEEP END PARTYING LIKE A BANSHEE, AND I HAPPENED ACROSS SOME BIG OLE ALABAMA BOYS AND THEIR GIRLFRIENDS AND I MADE SOME REALLY DISGUSTING ADVANCES TOWARD THEIR WOMEN- SAID I MADE THOSE BOYS REAL MAD, AND THAT THEY HAD WARNED ME SEVERAL TIMES TO GET ON ABOUT MY BUSINESS AND LEAVE THEM ALONE!. MY FRIEND SAY THAT THEY(MY FRIENDS) TRIED TO TELL ME, BUT, I WAS HARD HEADED AND CONTINUED MY ADVANCES. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT ABOUT TO ENDANGER THEMSELVES WITH THESE FELLAS AND THEY JUST HAD TO SIT AND WATCH- AND HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT, THAT THINGS DIDNT LOOK GOOD--- AND, THEN THESE BOYS GRABBED ME, TOOK ME OUTSIDE AND HAD THERE WAY WITH ME. IT WAS SWIFT, HARD- PAYBACK TIME- I NEVER HAD A CHANCE.... SAID THEY LOADED UP WHAT WAS LEFT OF ME AND PUT ME INTO MY CAR, AND LEFT ME FULLY DRESSED IN MY BED--- NOW, I CAN LOOK BACK AND SEE THAT I WAS WRONG IN EVERYTHING I DID THAT NIGHT- FROM GETTING DRESSED ARROGANTLY THINKING THAT, I, PRES STUART WAS-- JOHNNY, I OWN THIS BEACH!!!- COCKY, PRIDEFUL, DEFIANT, ETC, ETC THAT I WAS ABUSING SUBSTANCES, A LIE FROM THE DEVIL THAT MADE ME FEEL FALSE FEELINGS THAT I WAS WRONG FOR TALKING TO THAT MAN OF GOD LIKE THAT, I WAS BLASHEMIN HIM AND JESUS AMONG OTHER THINGS.. THAT I WAS AN IDIOT, CRAZY, DEVIATE TALKING,ETC, ETC AD INFINITUM.. I WAS ALL WRONG-EVERYTHING ABOUT ME- EVERY CELL IN MY BODY WORKIN FOR THE OTHER MAN NOW I DO BELIEVE THAT JESUS HIMSELF LET THOSE BOYS GIVE ME JUST A TASTE OF WHAT I REALLY DESERVED---- I AINT LUCKY THAT I SURVIVED IT---LETS GET THAT REAL CLEAR, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, ABOUT THAT. JESUS SAVED MY LIKE THAT NIGHT, FOR A REASON... LOOKING BACK NOW WITH RAZOR SHARP FOCUS---I SEE----VIVIDLY ---THAT JESUS LET ME WALK AWAY FROM THAT!!! ALTHOUGH I DID NOT DESRVE IT AT ALL-- HE PROTECTED ME, LIKE HIS JEWEL. I KNOW WITH EVERY FIBER IN MY BEING THAT HE CARRIED ME THREW ALL OF MY STRUGGLES THROUGHOUT MY LIFE! CUZ HE HAS HIS REASONS!!! LUCK HAS NEVER BEEN A PART OFTHE EQUATION CALLED -----MY LIFE! PEOPLE THRU MY LIFE HAVE TOLD ME THAT GOD HAD A CALLING ON MY LIFE.- THAT ALWAYS PUZZLED ME CUZ I WASNT LIVING FOR HIM, UNTIL HERE RECENTLY WHEN I GOT REAL SERIOUS AFTER GOING FROM CHURCH TO CHURCH, LEAVIN WITH MY HEAD DOWN IN DISAPPOINTMENT. BUT, WHEN I DID THAT POST AND GOT HONEST WITH THE WORLD ABOUT MYSELF, ALONG WITH SOME OTHER THINGS-- IT ALL BECAME REALLY CLEAR!!! ABSOLUTELY CLEAR! I CHALLENGE ANYONE WHO READ THIS TRUE STORY TO GO READ ANOTHER ONE IN THE NKJV OF THE HOLY BIBLE--------------- -----ROMANS 8:28-31- SOME WILL GET IT, MOST WON;T-- I DO!!! GOD BLESS ALL MY FAMILY, PAM, TIGGER, HER FAMILY, THE WORLD, OUR LEADERS, AND OUR ENEMIES. PRAY FOR ALL!!! WE ALL NEED IT!!!!!
