P. 57
When I did nightclub entertaining I also performed at some hospitals
and nursing homes. At a children’s hospital, I sang for some children.
Afterward, a little girl (about 5-6 years old) came up to me and
said, “Do you know what? I get to go meet Jesus real soon.”
At the time I had no spirit about me that I was tuned in to, and that was
active in any way. So I was actually confused about what she meant.
I really didn’t know she meant she was dying.
Her mother was there and told me about her impending death. Now
I know what she meant. But I’ve also come to realize that what she
inferred was that her life-journey would be very short.
The First Book I Ever Wrote
Earlier in life, I knew ‘Mr. Positive: Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.’ He wrote
an endorsement for a book I’d written: ‘Searching for Reality.’ The
cover said, “How to get the most out of the best you have to offer.”
This is still a good statement, at least partially, about our journey in
LIFE. This is true although I’ve also come to see that ‘self-help’ has
another side to the coin that says ‘God-help.’ If we don’t balance our
soul with God’s Spirit, our soul can get out of control and run all over
the place.
