Yancey, I can say Amen to your article. I too went through all of this but for a longer period than you. Thank God He delivered you quicker and your major years are seeing the fruit of the word of God in your life for His glory now!!

We have often visited your Church when in the area and consider it a very blessed congregation to have you as their minister. Thanks so much! – Lamar
