And there this gift would've been manifested long time ago, if I'd just went ahead and done what God told me to do. But instead of that, I didn't want her to be angry, and I didn't want to hurt nobody's feelings. And so I just--just let it go like that. Just walked, I just said, "All right, we won't go."'' | |||

My church, pretty near everything went down, down, down. Hope taken sick.''<ref>LIFE.STORY PHOENIX.AZ 51-0415A</ref> | |||
