Dear Dr. Hyles,

I thank God for you. You have been an encouragement to me ever since I went to Hyles-Anderson. At the time, I was young in the Lord, and my mind was not prepared for the rigorous mental exercise it was to receive. This was my first year at any college, having only nine years of school, and going into the thirteenth grade was tough for me. It has taken me years to catch up and I still wonder if I have, because of missing three years of high school (I had my G.E.D. then). You may remember me, I was that little guy who had his geographics mixed up being from Hammond LA. I am the same one who took a boy off of a bus in public and spanked him (I wonder what become of that boy, I do not remember his name); because of this I went to jail for a few hours, got a few bruises, and you were my attorney that help free me of the charge. That same year I had two bus accidents, one big one. After I was expelled, because I believe my grades had dropped too low; while driving my car, I had another accident somewhere down the road putting me in the hospital for about a month, losing my car and most of my belongings. The devil was so on my back that I could not concentrate on school work or drive without having trouble (tribulation). For my safety and the safety of everyone else, I gave up driving for about seven years. While still on fire after that six months of hearing the word at First Baptist, I continued to communicate the gospel to everyone on the road as I hitchhiked to various places. Over the years while working, in and through that traveling adventure, and after encountering the devil head on, I have learned to trust the Lord that much more. The Lord has continued to strengthen, encourage, and build me, giving me this new life with the help of Hyles-Anderson, although I did not finish. I hope my trying six months at school was not too hard on your church financially.

We all go through a lot of trials and temptations in a life time and I continue to have mine with the help of the many occupations that I have pursued. I have been a carpenter by trade ever since I was fifteen years old, and was never completely satisfied with that line of work. At twenty I was drafted into the Army, and all I wanted to do then was finish my term and get out. I called upon God at my near death experience in Germany, and He delivered me. I got to know Jesus in the end months of my first military experience when I was going to Bel Air Baptist Church in El Paso with Pastor Dean Lang. At the time I thought God was calling me to be a pastor, that is when I went to Hyles-Anderson. Since then, after hitchhiking around the country, I have worked on and off in the construction field, gone through two years at S.L.U. in Hammond, LA, taken 2600 hours of electronics, gone back into the Army for three years of Reserve duty, worked part time for about 15 years with a sign shop, fabricating custom made signs, never forgetting where I came from. I continued to witness the word whenever, wherever I could, trying not to be so offensive but that backfired. I became a truck driver in 1990 for a few years, got my CDL license believe it our not with my past driving record, and then in ‘96 and 97 built my sister a house. I do like building houses for a living, but there isn’t enough satisfaction in any manual labor for my soul. I realized, after what God has showed me, all I want to do is get the message out, and tell people about Jesus.

Over the years I have tried to find some open doors where I could at least begin to preach. I believe I am too much of a radical to be given the pulpit. Because of my demand for change, especially in my own life, or maybe it is because I can not speak, the last preacher said he was not ready for me. Surely he and others want me for my willingness and various abilities, but not for what I have to say. I have been beat up, persecuted, put in jail all by different church groups that did not care for the messages that God has given me. My messages has been delivered at tables, in homes, on the street, at prisons, in businesses or wherever, but the freedom of the pulpit has come to me only when I am to sing or lead singing on a few occasions. I have been wanting for a long time in a greater capacity to get my message out. To put it all together into one format, I have found a way. I am no eloquent speaker neither a great writer, nor do I believe I am adequate, but the Lord knows if I have potential. I have found a medium where I might apply a lot of the talents the Lord has brought me to learn, but use them in a totally different way.

Using my mind instead of my muscle, I am learning to drive the electronically superhighway, hoping to soon build my own Bible-believing website that will build believers and turn non-believers in the right direction. Instead of just building stick and stone dwellings that have no eternal value, I am into building a site so the weary surfer will have another drive-through for a short rest and refreshing drink of truth. Through this medium I believe it is my calling to reach, and bring back some lost sheep that have went astray into this world of knowledge, but also a world of perversion, deception, and many antichrist. In the making, through this same medium, along with all the other linking byways and gadgets, and with the help of different types of communications, sales, transactions, amusements, animation’s, automatons and electronics, this rising one world system, the common market and the one world religion with its’ gods has become a reality. I believe these will be one of many of the electronical tools that Satan's beast will use during his three and a half years reign.

There is so much more to the Internet than that what meets the eye. What goes along with the building of a site is first learning the machine and the software, than how to write, in my case I did not know how, tagging the pages with HTML, adding some JavaScript and animation to make it attractive. After learning these things I am able to publish my pages promoting it the best way I know how, hoping someone will view them.

I hope I haven’t said too much. I wanted you to know a little about myself, what I am seeking to accomplish and to give you some messages. The other day I finished and sent copies of the attached letters, one to President Clinton and others to my Senators. I believe God has given me this message from His word, and I want to share it with you. At one time you shared so much of the word with me from the pulpit, and now I download from off the Internet your weekly sermons. I know you have a tight schedule, probably have too much to do, and little time to do it in to have such a long letter to read. The purpose of the attached letter called "The Shedding of Innocent Blood" is to convey my sentiments and God’s feelings on abortion, and maybe help turn around those few it can reach. I have always pictured First Baptist of Hammond, Ind as a bunch of little churches inside one big one with everyone doing their part. Doing my part, I hope to with God’s word open some eyes to the fact that a judgment day is coming for all, including those that murder children--they better get prepared. I am always learning from brothers in Christ like you, in your case a dad, and I hope you can learn from me, maybe some truths about God’s word that you may have never encountered before. Feel free to sign, copy, distribute, mail, and use any Pro-Life ideas received from the attached letter. There is a difference in the first and ending part of the two letters and petitions. One is for the President and one is for your Senators. Please get the necessary signatures, address and mail as soon as possible.

Included in this letter is a double portion of truth. I want to inform you of a big deception that has been spreading through the churches for centuries. We as Christians have been deceived by a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. I have developed a Netscape Bible study on the Internet that still needs a lot of work; and if you have the equipment, I hope you will study before you draw any final conclusions about what I am saying. I believed this Pre-Trib lie until God directed me to the verse "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed" (1 Cor 15:52 KJV). That is when I had begun to study and find out the truth for myself. Prophecy fits together so much better when one believes what the word has to say on this matter. The reason I stress people to study it and believe the Post Tribulation Rapture is because outside of being true it is very important for proper Christian growth. All Christians need to know that everyone of us will go through trouble in our lives no matter if it is big or small. Most Christian are expecting to go off on a honeymoon after salvation before they are proven worthy ^R and married to the Lord. ^R We all go through trials, trouble, tribulation, for the way that leads to life is narrow. These words trials, trouble, tribulation, affliction, narrow are near synonymous in the Greek as you will see in my Tribulation directory. I have so much to learn and you have taught me so much. I hope you give me a chance to show you somethings God has showed me. Christians are never too old to learn. You are only 71 or 72. Moses lived to be 120 so there could be a few more years left in your mission. Please, if you have a connection on the Internet and you get the chance, study my pages at the address I have provided below my salutation and mailing address. Maybe with the help of Mark Harshman, if you haven’t yet, you will be up and surfing in the clear blue waters of God’s territory on-line. If you do not like the challenges of the Internet maybe in the near future I can send you a copy of my Bible study. Just about every week I download a couple of your messages. Even if you do not surf and you are completely against the net, just for me and no telling how many more folks getting your sermons, please ask Mark to continue putting them on-line in Real Audio format.

I have been working on my webpage for months on the Internet and know there is a lot of perversion, deception, and antichrist on the web, for I have encountered it head on. Christians who really love Jesus has to be very careful when surfing because of the weakness of the flesh; one can be drawn into that part of the Internet, like any other part of this sinful world, where there is filth and lies. People are so complacent with all the garbage that is on the net, on TV, in print, in their neighborhoods, in their neighbor’s lives, and even in just about every grocery store and service station we go into. I believe the reason there is so much of this filth in our faces in America today is because the Church in general have failed to complete all of its’ mission in "teaching to observe all things whatsoever I (Jesus) have commanded"; and one shortcoming is to "deny himself (and not to deny what is going on right under his very nose), and take up his cross, and follow me (Jesus)".

For example, some Christians and Deacons take ungodly jobs for reasons, such as, they have to because there is no other job, somebody has got to do it, I have got to feed my family, the money is better, and not really trust in God when He say’s "but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" which means He will take care of us and will supply the right job. Some of these supposable Christians, who have not been sanctified, are no better off than the people of this world, because they participate in the very same things not only using but becoming pushers themselves, mostly for the money and for someone else’s business, being suckered in to selling, promoting, distributing pornographic material, drugs, along with tobacco and alcohol which are also drugs. How can we say anything to those who use illegal drugs when we ourselves are the pushers and abusers of the so-called legal drugs. We are a pharisaic, hypocritical Church because we unrightly judge and think we are better off and better than they when we are not. We need to quite prostituting ourselves with things of the world and clean ourselves every day, filling our lamps with oil, letting our lights shine in this old dark world that is full of desperate souls, so our lives can be an example for them to see; and maybe then when we speak the word people will listen, and then we can see some real change in and around us. One battle I dread at times is talking to so many yes persons who say they love Jesus, but in works they deny Him. In this part of the country many Christians and deacons use and sell what you and I would call contraband. They are lifted on a high pedestal by Pastors everywhere here. This is a continual battle for me I know Jesus will win one day.

With me promoting some truths of the Bible through the Internet, it will be just as bad for me or anyone else in this field to participate, promote or sell any of filth and lies on-line. We need to have on the whole armour of God when we go into battle for the lost souls of mankind. We may not purge the Internet of all its’ filth, but I believe if we continue to battle against the forces of evil that are there, without the help of the Supreme Court, with the weapons our Lord has provided and with His Holy Spirit, we will save many souls for Jesus as we prepare for the end time harvest.

I want to thank you for your time. Please consider my page, and have the letters, "The Shedding of Blood" signed, sealed and delivered to the President and your Senators as soon as possible. Voting is coming up real soon on this very important issue to override the Presidents veto of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. With your help on this and all what you have done over the years, I hope we can turn the inevitable Judgment of God.

With Love, Your Son in Christ!
