I've been a Christian now for about 2 years. Not long before that happened though I decided it would be a good Idea to grow some opium poppies. I was a pipefitter and wear and tear on my bod was causing me to be in fairly constant pain. Anyway, my garden was a success and I began making use of the fruit of my labor. Once a week use became every other day use. Then I was driving to the store, listening to some political talk drivel. And a voice, clear as a bell, said. It started out an experement, It will become an addiction. I said out loud what?! I started listening carefully to the radio. Nothing about experements or addiction on there. I knew on some level that God, had just spoken out loud, to me. I threw all my poppies out as a result of what had happened. Later I accepted Jesus as my savior. later I joined a church and was baptised. Before my baptism a woman that hails from russia that had just joined the church said she was sorry but couldn't stay for it due to an appointment. But she gave me a post card and wrote on the back. The lord is near to all who call upon him. Psalm 145:18. On the front of the card was a poppie field. I'll keep that card as a sign of Gods grace with me.
