A man sits in his motorized wheelchair in downtown Nashville. He is smiling and you can see large buildings behind him.

The gift my lord Jesus Christ gave me is my singing talent, playing the spoons, and he put me through some things where I could learn to be a better person. I used to be on drugs going on 19 years ago. And now that I’m clean, I found out I have other gifts that I never knew I had. I’m telling you a story! I couldn’t do this when I was on drugs. I’ve been telling stories for a few years now with The Contributor. The Contributor’s been a big part of my life over the years. You may say they are part of my family now just like the Room in the Inn. The Room in the Inn is a big part of my family. They pulled me through a lot of trials, and I made a come back and made myself a better person now.

I love singing. I love playing my spoons. I love selling The Contributor for whatever I can get. It doesn’t make any difference what I get because it’s not all about money for me like it is with other people. For me it’s about getting out there and doing what I love doing and that’s singing, playing music and selling The Contributor newspaper. I would never have been able to do that if it hasn’t been for Room in the Inn (RITI). RITI has really made a big impression on me. In fact, when I meet my maker my Lord Jesus Christ, I want to pass away in my room there because I think that’s where the lord wants me to be. He’s given me some things to do in the past and I’ve done them. But I think he’s got something real big in his mind for me because I have lived through three car accidents this year. It’s been a blessing because the only injury I really got was a broken toe. So, you may say the Lord is in my heart and in my mind and in my soul.

Keep listening, because every once in a while I write a story! Because The Contributor is part of my family and I want to always be there for them. My new years resolutions are to be able to get out more and meet more people and sell The Contributor to people coming in from out of town.
