...Today, seven years later, Im a very different man. I am so much more happy and thankful. Gratitude has become an attitude and life style for me. I have given you the very short version of my story as there really is so much more to say about this. I HATED the depression and the prolonged trial after words but I would not trade it for any thing. Ive learned priceless lessons that will no doubt effect me the rest of my life and ministry. I have drawn closer to God and family through it all. Know this, this thing could have ended in tragic failure but I chose to cling to Jesus and he made to overcome.

Thank you for sharing that.
