1/12/2/21/ 2/31/2003/ A TRUE WARRIOR
When a man loses his self in what has happened throught out the year on him is time to take his self to where he must go..His thoughts are very important to what he writes to his own thoughts down, his self must matain a important role in his life as a mortal human, But things change his life that come into it. Sickness Health Life Death an birth of a child to where it comes from. When he gets old an things come into his life that stops for a time, He must take that time an let his self heal..with what he has got...
Love is the only thing that he can depend on to help him with this..Without it he has died long ago. But when one comes into life itself There is more enought room for him to heal, But only the Great Sprits of the earth of what he knows life to exsits in his life itself. For with out it he is lost to the world.For when others come into his life to destroy it, his life is being fought back with others at his hand.For if he gives up a fight then he has lost his will to live. But his will -always be there for the next time for a great fight will take plase in him.When he gets knocked to his kness, or the flat on his back an can;t hardly get up without help from others to lift him up. Grab hold an give a helping hand to him, if he cannot get it he will die a slow death. He needs time an patience to help him back up on his feet. This is also a great fight of a True Warrior.Where he finds pease within him self. Is long time to him as to find it. An when he does find pease within his self he;ll rest for long time to come.For after the pease has come he;ll begin to find better knowledge of others within there self. But there pease is an never will be there for them till they understand him..
For the understanding of what he has got they'll kmow it by his looks, at him an his family. For this great fight has to be fought only by his love that he has got with him an his family.For his seed will be like the sands on the sea shore.As the stars in the sky..For his childeren will be taught the same great fight that has been taught before, him For others try to take away from him but they are not able to get what he has got by force.For they still don;t understand how to get what he has got.For his teaching of his childeren of many different things of what he must teach them. For what he must also teach his childeren is respect,
Being kind to others, helping out who they can.An respect those who respect them..
Showing love of what there father an mother has tauight them.For they will have to fight someday the same great fight. for what the father has to teach there childeren, is from the old ones, the anesters of years ago.For with the teaching of the Native Amercian Indians of all tribes, taught the young warriors of how to hunt,look for different types of things of the earth, to respect the earth for what it brought forth to them that learned.As a person looks at the stars they sometimes see the ancerestrys long ago in the stars Sometime inages do apear before the eyes.An wonder where he came from, for what his fellings are leading him to do.

For when you take care of your family, you;ll do what ever it take to do just that even steal, If you get a chance too. But I think if you do steal God will not comdem you for takeken care of them. Going out getting salvage collection, cans.or whatever it takes.
For God will take care of them. For when I was young I prayed to God for a god christian woman, well I bacame old an thought God had given up on me, But I did meet one. An I was scared to death,of who she was. Well I went up to meet her in Ohio. So I went to Ohio to meet her,but before I went we talked for a long time. I ask her how old she was? Then I ask her does age make any difference to you? She said no. Well to my supprise.I wanted to meet her,After we meet there at Kings Island I was scared of her didn;t know why.but i was.We went out for lunch, an a movie, an I then went to a motel an she left I thought she was gone but she ask me if I wa going to come back? I said yes,Why but i did.I felt the love within, her she was only eighteen yeas old then. She is twenty one now..,Now we have two wonderful sons joseph wayne murry an andrew micheal murry. An we are expection another one in august of this year.... Her mom an dad live in Ohio.
Linsday Adams an Joyce Adams an her brother Linsday Adams Jr.
God is the one who brought us together. She was also looking for someone to care about,
When we was in Muskogee Ok,where I lived there for four years. I was working at the libary in Muskogee Ok. When I run into her... She came on one time ask me if i wanted to chatt? I told her I was busy an will chatt with you later on. Well the next morning she came on we got to talking about the bible.. She ask me if I know the meaning of what DAUGHTER [OF WOMAN MEANT? I told I;ll get back with you later on about it. Well that question scared me cause I was told of that from an old Indian Medecine Man..... I didn;t know what to think of it. But I did the best I could to answer her question about it.We went out to a movie, to Gold Star Chilli...I realy enjoyed my self for when I was there... But she took me to a motel an she left. Well I thought it;d be the last time to see her, but she ask if I was going to come back? I told her yes i;ll be back later on.
For when I did come back she left with me on a Grey Hound Bus for Muskogee Ok... Then to Miami Ok to get married. For we married in September sixth of 2001. Now we have two sons an one, on the way..for we both found love for what God put that in our hearts to share with each other.

For when we got together in Muskogee Ok. her dad an mom came there to get us but I was in jail for not paying a fine an her dad got me out of jail then he told me that there;s nothing he can do but except me in the family. For her mom an the rest didn;t like what I did, is take her from them. But now they are my family. We have our arguments but still we love each other.
Every couple that love one another should or disagree on one thing or another...I;m trying to do the best I can, cause my health is not very good now. Been in an out of the hospitial for quite some time.For my breathinhg is not very good. But that don;t mean I can;t do for my family an still take care of them. There are times that I seem to be alone, but I know I;ll never be alone.
An it seems to be hard to get things done when I ask others to try to help get it done, they;ve always have excuess on it. But you do the best you can to try an help out of what you;ve got.
An then you;ve got to draw the line somewhere.If they won;t help them selves.then you got to say no. We get our needs meet because God said that [ shall supply all your needs according to his richess in glory throught christ phillipians 4;19] For beliving in god as a christian, an belive in his word for what it says.His cammendents that was giving to us....

My story starts when I was born in August 8/8/1940, at St.Johns Hospitial in Joplin Missouri....
1/09/2004
I was giving away when I was six months old along with other brothers an sisters
I was taken into a home of William Farley Murry an Ruby Mae Murry, walked out an left wraped in nothing but a blanket, layed down an left. For William Farly Murry run a dairy farm of three hundred acres an worked in the coal mines.I grew up as his son Ruby an grandma also lived at 714 north Wilson st. in WebB City Mo.We had all kinds of animials on this farm,goats, chickens, pigs, an all kinds of animials, dad was a kind man he;s help's out any one that needed help.
He;s put them to work on different things that he had to be done. One day when I was almost seven years old he put me to driven the team of mules cutting the hay an dad rolled it in rows so that we could put it on the wagons. Dad was down on the ground an I was driven the mules, he put the hay on it, an when we finished we took it to the barn an I went up top side to scatter it in the hay loaft.Well when we finished I started down the ladder, it gave way well there was a rope an it droke so I ask dad how to get down now? He told me the only way down is to jump, I told him you won;t catch me, he said I will catch you son he did that several times so I did but dad didn;t catch me, He told me
never trust no one not even your own family. I ask him who can you trust? He said you can put your trust in God an Christ that was a leason I learned it the hard way.I didn;t know what he meant by it. But as time went on I did finialy knew what trust meant.Then when I turned seven we went to church that morning I looked up at dad an said there is something missing in my life, dad said it;s time for you to go up an give your heart to God I was crying my heart out an didn;t know why.
Well I did go up an felt some thing coming over that I didn;t understand what it was.
Then after I excepted Christ into my life I knew it was different, Things begin to happen to me.
That night dad heard a noise down at the barn he grabed his shotgun an handed me the lateren,
I opened the door an there in front of me was seven rattle snakes, they hit me on my left leg I knew I was bitten by them, dad ran down to Bob Dennings to get Doc Ferguson, but by the time they got back I was still standing. When the Doc Ferguson seen it he said there was enough to kill a elephant but I was not hurt they couldn;t understand it. Dad said that God had his hand on him. Well in 1947 I was 7 years old of December is when dad died, but before he did he went to the bank an give me a bunch of coins wheat pennys, indian head pennys, an an fifty dollar gold pises they were in the family from dads fathers, handed down to me. Then one day grandma was upstairs an mom wanted me to go up an get
her for breakfast so I did but I went up to get her an tryed to wake her up but she would not wake up so I went down an told mom an dad that grandma won;t wake up. Well dad went up an came back down an told mom that she was dead,
grandma also give me a collection of Saint Gaudens Twenty Dollar Gold pices....Then in 1953 I was thirteen years old when mom died. I was left out on the streets. Lorene Witmer mom's daughter got the house an Roselie Spencer was going to give me one dollar I told her to take it an shuve it cause I;ll have more money than you know what to do with, so that put me out on the streets...Well I didn;t know what to do then. So I did go to the streets an an went to the Salvation Army
they put me up an I also went to school from there....One day a man came up to me an wanted to give me a home, I told him to leave me alone. He found out where I was staying he came there an told the captain that he want to give me a home too. So I finaly give in George Williams was his name. He took me an got me all kinds of chothes to wear.Two weeks later he give me some bags of white stuff I didn;t know what it was but he told me to take it an sell it, well I did...
I ask Mr.Williams how much should I get from it, he said one thousand dollars a bag.Well I was selling twenty bags a day at one thousand dollars....thats more money than I seen in my life..at the end of the week I took the money to give back to him George told me to keep it...well that supprised me cause I didn;t know what to do what that kind of money he said invest it...well i told him what in he said stock an bonds.... Well I never heard of that so he put me in touch with a stock brocker.... the first one I got was Wal Wart, but later on I got to buy more stocks,an C D's.
Then one day I was on my way to Mexicio.to get some more drugs.well I was getting tired so I thought I'd find a plase to rest well I run on this dirt road an went down it then I run across a cave so I went it to see what was there to my supprise there was a chest it was full of old coins, it took a while to get all of them out an the crosses an cups.... they look like they were very old.
1/10/2004 from 1/15/2004
So what I did is take them back with me, it took me a while to get them all in my truck.
but after I got every thing back home I showed George what I found,the crosses an the cups he ask me where I got them I told him in a cave in Mexico, so he told me that we;d try to find out what or how old there were.I said ok, so three weeks later a man came in from the smithsontion instution. an ask me if I'd could take him to where I found the items In a cave I told him, I said yes I'd take you there,The next morning we ent to Mexcio an I found the cave where I found the other pices..... we found one other cup an one other cross....which the crosses was three foot high an two foot wide... the cups was about four inches across an five inches high. The crosses had jems on them that no one has ever seen. An on the cups as well. Which one cup was made of wood no one has ever seen either.
So we took the rest of them home the man told me that he was going to take some pictures of them....
[1/20/2004]
1/28/2004
So he did went back to the musium...come back later on an told me that they were
date back before christ. The pices went to a bank to be put in a vault...an my artfacts are not to be sold under no way.....well it was time that I went to Mexico again to get some drugs.
Well on the way back a police stop me for weaving, so he said the I was weaving an i told him that I was tired he told me that there was a truck stop up the way about 3/4 of a mile..so I told him that I'll pull in there an stop for the night. So I did an left in the morning. Well by now I was turning 18 years old,was doing very well for my self. When I was driving down main street in Joplin Mo I had a Mustang I had twenty five blocks of drugs in there with me,Then I was being chased by a cop, Then I had no choise but to dump it throught my floor board of my car.Well all I had a small bag in my car that was what I got caught with..Well I went to jail, the judge was going to give me twenty years or four years in the servise of my choise, So I told the judge the Army and that I'll be out an right back on the streets. So I went into the army an done my four years, But I signed up for more time, then I went to Ft. Riley Kansas, staioned there for some training, survival, then went to Ft. Cambel Ky.to jump school then to OTS. training school for to get my captains bars,
Sgt. Miley told me you can earn them, But go there I know that you can do it for the determation in you is realy suprising to me.
1/31/2004 12;53 P.M. [2/1/2004 12;53 P.M.][ 2/4/2004/ 4;04 p.m.] [2/2/2004 9;31 P.M.]
Then went on to Ft.Cambel Ky.to get some more training of the 82 nd Airborne Div.. then got a transfered to the 101 st Air Borne div.
after I got done then we went to fly over canda to take over an air base there in
Wis. we were flying in cirlcles for over an hour then I ask the Sgt. why are we flying in circles? he said how do you know that? I told him is because I can tell the plane turning several times. There was one hundred an seventy five guys that was going to jump from the plane. We was to take the Air Base in three weeks but they split up in teams of five. an the one team that I was in we did it in two weeks... after that.
There was only a team that was picked to go to Calfornia... well we spent three weeks there confined to base.Was not allowed to go any where. Every thing they brought to us, then after that we got our orders to go to South Viet Nam. there was only fifteen that was picked out.. An I was the head of my team. There at different times on different missions we would hit an run villiages all over the places loooking for viet con;s or v c's...one time we stoped for a rest an out from no where there came a girl of about twelve years old...One of the guys started to pick her up I seen a buldge around her I knew it was gernades....I pulled my 44 out an shot her between her eyes she was dead before she hit the ground, It took the whole top of her head off. I couldn;t belive my eyes of what I justy did. Only a little girl. But I saved the team of getting killed. We went on from there to casion one of the camps in the middle of four one to the east west north an one at the south ..I was to take over as camp camander of the camp till they could get some to take the plase of the one who got killed early on. One night they came motor shelling from all around us for three days an nights.....Then it finialy stoped....I looked at one end of the camp an seen one pasing off steps I went to see what was going on an ask him what he was doing? Thought he was just out for a walk he said but the next three days it started again then the same one did it again an then I knew what he was doing I went to him an punched him down an said hi viet con... I took him to intergate him. Then we shot him, then for the next two days it was quite nothing was happening...but that night it started in bombming an shells fell all over the plase. they got so many coming that we had to do somthing before they were over running us.
I looked at one small boy holding a ak47 rifle in his hand someone behind me he;s going to shot you several times then I picked up an m60 recoiless rifle an cut him into, he was about 15 years old, I ask myself why do they do this to young boys and girls? They had no respect for life as far as thy were concerened.
We went on mission right after another... Every time my R.R. came up they had another mission for us to do.. Then one day they wanted us to go to an air base in north viet nam to destroy it, So we went there it took us about three weeks to get there. We knocked out the counncation tower first, the the planes on the run way, Every thing went up in a few hours it looked like the four of july fire wooks every where. Then one day in choppers we were shot down. The fifteen of us was taken prisioners they told us there is no escape from here I told them I'll be gone before you know what happened. They never checked my boot for a knife.
In a watery cage I went under water to cut the lines from my cage it took me about three days to get them cut. Then was gone all fifteen of us. We found our way back I told the guys that we going to come back an get the rest of the prisioners. An we did, there was two hundred an seventy five guys there we got out destroying the whole camp, every thing in site there, Then we got orders to be stationed in Sigion at the Embesey. We did eleven months there then we got oders to chase back some v.c;s back to Camboidia.. On the way there we come across a rise
patty. There was no water in it so we all started back...then all of a sudden I looked down an seen a pin sticking up an shouted mine field!!!!! Every one stoped in there tracks, Well the mine sweep found one hundred an seventy five, but missed one an I stepped on it, It tossed me in the air...I knew I had bought my ticket home my legs my fase was torn apart...so I was flown back to the United States. an spent almost two years in the hospitial, The doctors told me I'd never walk again, but I knew I was going to with alot of determation an treatment an alot help I did walk... Then in 1972, I went back to Joplin Missouri to look for my girlfriend....Darleen Lett..but she was no where to be found, so I went to the house where we meet. her dad Melvin Lett was there with a baby girl....I ask him who the baby mother was? He told me she is dead. I knew then that was my daughter Susan
she was only six months old an I told him I want my daughter he told me that I was not going to get her. So we went to court an I got cusdoy of her. Before I went back home the president gave me the Medal of Honor two purple hearts, bronze star, silver star, servise cross, viet nam servise medal..I went back to Joplin Mo an tryed to find jobs there then finialy went back to work for George Williams, being a bar tender... in 1973....also going to scholl at Emporia Kansas. for biblicial research, computer techician, history litature. Then I was working long hours I told George that I need a break. .He said that I can take a few days off but be back Monday to go back to work that he needed me that I was the only one that knows what he's doing an trusted me....in my work... Well it was 1985.
2/05/2004 7;07 p.m.
It went on for quite some time even after I came back to work...that I was working sixteen hours a day I need a rest..I told him if I don;t got some time off i;m going to walk, Well he said if you work New Years you can take off, An come back Monday morning an take inventory for me I told ok 'I'll do that well I took off on a Friday he give me what was owed to me. I went an got some dinner went home took a shower. About nine that night there came a knock on my door I went to see who it was a preacher had said that I was going to get a visitor during the night..all I thought he wanted was a donation so I give him some thing for his time an sent him on his way So about eleven that night there came a knock at my door again,it was a nise looking woman an I ask her do you belive in angels? she said are you crazy an I slamed the door in her fase, So I went back to bed durning the day they was talking about thiunder storms an I seen it lighting an the windows came open so I got up to shut them but in stead there was big bright light that came throught my window an it was so bright I had to closed my eyes an tryed to open them again an it ask me if I was ready to go home? I said yes. Then later on I came back on the out skirts on a town I realy didn;t reconize..I looked down a ways an seen a cafe so I went there to see if I could get some thing to eat. I went in took by backpack off inside an set down. The waiteres ask me what I wanted I told her I'd like start off with some coffoee.An a bit to eat, Well I looked in my pockets an found big rolls of money, I had no idea where it came from.an in my pack was a big bible... I had no idea where it came either an started to wonder about it. So I ask my self what am I going to do with money an how did I get it?
Well in the mean time I ask the woman if she had a news paper? She handed me one of a Joplin Globe, To my supprise it said 1987,That realy shocked me...I had no idea where I was at Or where I'd been,
So after I got done I went on my way about an hour later it was starting to get dark so I found a plase to camp for the night. Then all of a sudden I seen this big bright light shinning towards me, It seems to me like it was walking. Like an angle. It said I want you go to Az, I've a job for you there they;ll be expecting you. I thought I was dreaming but it seem so real....but I did as I was told to do.
I got up the next morning an right off the highway caught a ride with a trucker. He ask me where I was headed for? I said Az, Well he said 'I'm going your way. So we stoped at a truck stop an he said lets get something to eat are.He ask me are you hungry? I said a little, He ask me have you got any money? I said yes I do. Then he ask me can you drive a truck? I said I can drive any thing thats got a sterring wheel! He ok good 'Ill let you drive for a while then! Then we started out I got in an put the truck in gear just like I knew what I was doing...He told me you;re doing a great job of driving this rig. So we drove for quite a while for about two hours or more, Later we were crossing into Texsas... he woke up an ask where we are at? I said just getting into a State of Texsas. He said that he;d take over now....So after a long ways we stoped at another truck stop. An he said well Tuson Az. is just half mile up the road aways, I've got to make my turn here...So I got my stuff an left him there. I also went in at the truck stop an got my self a rest an took a shower an then ask where I could get a plase to stay? They told me there is a Salvation Army up on the street, a ways you can stay there. So I left an went had no trouble at all finding it.
2/07/2004] 11;17 a.m. 10;34 p.m
When got to the Salvation Army the person there said that we have been expection you glad to have you here. I thought to my self well this is the first time I've been here. He said you can stay as long as you want. Then I ask them where can I find a job around here? They told me there doing some contructrion up about two miles from here. So I went there to ask for a job, an the forman ask me if I knew how to mix contrete? I told yes.... He said come back in the moring at seven an you can get started. So on my way back to the Salvation Army I stop at a cafe to get some dinner, after I got done I went home to sleep but on my way there I set down it was getting dark. It seems like I was there for hours but then came up this big bright light an said after you get done with this job go to Hells Hole New Mexico. I was still think that I was dreaming but then I thought to my self that God has brought me here for what purpose. So I ask the angel what purpose has God got for me? He said that the man will want to know about God tell him. That's all that the angel said.... I thought to my self how do I do this talk to some one About God that I don;t even know. Well I was getting tired so I went to the home to get some sleep, But I got that bible out that I have been given an in it was filled with like gold glitter... So as I open it up it came to Romans . An I began to read....well I was realy getting tired by now, so I went to bed early an it seems that I just layed down an it was morning already. So I got up an went down to the cafe I went by an got some breakfast..An then headed for the job..When I got there the head man told me to ge started mixing the concretet. so I did the others was laying brick.... Then when lunch came around I'd had brought my lunch an went down to set down to eat, but before I did I just said a little prayer for it giving thanks to God for bringing me here.Then all of a sudden there came some of the guys up to me ask what I was doing I said I said a little prayer for my job... They ask me if I was a christian? I said yes I am....One of them said well you can belive in what you want but I just belive in my self...I told him well God will answer prayer if you belive in him an what he can do for you. Then it was lunch was over so I went back to work.
Then time passed quite quickly. As I done the job to the best that I could do for any one. Then when it was
time for lunch The next day an there came up to me a heavy set man ask me what I was doing I told him praying an giving thank for my job...I ask him who he was? He said I'm the owner of the site here an I've been told that you are doing a wonderful job. I told well thank you I try to do my best for any one I work for. He ask me if I was a christian? I said yes I ask him are you? He told me that he belived in a Higher Power but didn;t know what kind it was. I told him that God an Christ is the only High Power that I know of... Can you tell me how to get to know this God of yours I said yes.
2/08/2004--6;21 p.m.
I took him to where it says in romans 10;9-10...that you have to confess with your mouth the lord jesus and shalt belive in thine heart that god raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved.
He ask me is that all you have to do is belive? I said yes an ask God to forgive you of all your sins an except Christ as savior then God will right then an there he will forgive you of all of your sins will be wiped away.An a new man will be you..... Well after then he ask me if he should go to a church somewhere? I told him when you find, one yes that you liked. An then tell the pastor of that church! He said that he would. That he told me that he felt different but didn;t know how....
2/10/2004 2;44 p.m.
I told him once you excepted Christ as savior in your life you will feel different than you ever have before an be more happyer with life itself. All you have to do is belive in your heart because that where Christ lives with in your heart,thats where love is an that's where he has put there for you to share with others that you meet. I told him it;s time for me to get back to work.He ask me how much are they paying you for working? I said I'm just a laborer....he said that i;m going to tell my foreman to triple your wages Oh my I said that i;m only getting five seventy five an hour...He told me that you;ll be making twenty dollars an hour from now till the jobs done. So that was the last time I seen the head man.Well as time went on the job was almost finished. The new plase was going to be a small center for men an woman or a shelter for them.
Well I did my job to my best that I could do an even thought about that of what was told to me about the man wanting to know about Christ an now I was still thinking about going to Hells Hole New Mexcio for what purpose am I to do there...as the next day came around I went to my job getting an early start..for it was going to be my last week there on it for pay day was coming up that afternoon...we all got out pay checks but mine i got more than what I thought I would... I went to the foreman an ask him is this right on my paycheck he said yes that;s what the owner wanted to pay you was twenty five an hour....I knew I got over sixty houirs in for that week...well he told me if I ever need a full time job to look him up.I told him that I've got another job to do,but I'll keep you in mind...well later on I left there with my pockets full of money....
So the next morning I went an got my self a very good breakfast at the cafe. I had stoped at the first time I went to Tuson Az.then I started out with a map looking for Hells Hole New Mexcio but it was not on the map any where...I didn;t know which way to head for. So I thought to my self head north, So I did. So I walked for better than three miles an looked back an a car pulled up an ask me where i was headd for? I told him Hells Hole New Mexico he said he;d never heard of it before! But I'm going to Albquerque New Mexico. I'll let you off there.i said ok so we drove quite a ways it took almost five hours to get there. But it was getting dark by the time we pulled in to Albquerque, so the man let me off, an I looked for a plase to stay for the night, but there was no where to be found, So I went underneath a bridge for the night.

As I started to go to sleep I seen that big bright light again now I thought to my self this is an Angel of God an I ask him what purpose do you have for me? We want you to teach God's word!
is all..an you did a real fine job with the last one.Now this is a big one for you.I know I can handdle it.What shall I do in this town? The angel said that it will be destroyed... I ask is there any christian there? He ask me in his word do you rember the story about Sodom an Gorah? I said yes. Then read it when the time is right well I ask when will that be? you will know..
So I drifted off to sleep. An then it seems I had a real restful sleep there was a creek just down a bit so I went down to see if I could catch any thing. An I did it took a bit but I caught some small perch an I made some coffoee. Then went up to see if I could catch a ride...it didn;t take long but a car stoped about a mile down the road.A car stopped an picked me up an ask me where I was going? I told him Hells Hole New Mexico he said it so happened going right there. We drove for about two hours an then I was shocked of what I had just seen, A sign that showed a goats head an the number six six six on it, He said that he was going to let me off at the truck stop, An I could go in an get a bite to eat they serve real good food in there. So I droped my back pack down out seide an took my bible in with me, but I layed it down next to me. A waiteress came over an said, What can I get for you? I said I'll start with some coffoee an a menue. Well I ask her about the sign out side of town she told me that this iis a sataninst towm that belive in the devil.I told her that I respect all people an there beliefs, just then she brought back my coffoee an a menue, Then after I had finished my breakfast there came a man up to me an said that we don;t have any Churches or Salvation Army in this town an we don;t like christians I told him that you will be sorry for saying that,
Just then I heard one of the loudest noises I've
had ever heard They said that a train had derailed, An just every thing just went to hell every thing just exployded, an I just got up an walked out side, the train an all the tankers that it was pulling, every thing was on fire but I walked away not a hair on my head was burnt, there was fire trucks of all kinds that was there I ask them if I was the only one alive? They said yes, seems to be,They ask me what happened? I said you will never beilve me if I told you. It just so happened that there was a preacher there, Ask me if he could talk to me? I said yes but I didn;t have much to say, he said well you told that man that he;d never belive it if you told him, He said well tell me I can guess what it was about, So I told him my story, he said that I've got a pencoastal church in the next town can I give you a ride there maybe put you up for a while,I said sure I'm looking for a job any way, He said you are doing God;s work, Well thank you, one thought that run through my mind was asking him if he belived in angles??? So I did ask him?Do belive in angles? He said yes very much he told me that I've had one telling me what to do an where to go I said yes.He said that then I've got a job for you to do..So i ask him doing what? Somethings at the church. Well ok I got plenty of time...the air is getting cooler now seems to me it;s going to be a hard an early winter this year.
Well we drove for quite a while till we came to a truck stop an he said lets go in an get a bite to eat, I wonder if they have showers so I can clean up, I feel just a little dirty. I ask him where are we going? He said were going to cross into Oklahoma before long proably around midnight or three. I ask him if I could drive a little? He said have you got your linences?
I said yes I've had them sence I was sixteen...
2/12/2004 11;00 p.m.
So I ask him what kind of work do you have for me? He said were going to do some captentary,plumbing ,all types of work to be done. So we are going to be remolding the church right? He yes we are. I ask him what part of Ok are we going? He said Ok City. well thats good. My wife will be glad that I brought you along.Oh ok I'm always inestered in metting new people...
do you like to eat? I said I'll eat any thing that don;t eat me first. oh thas's good cause she is a very good cook...I told him I love to cook as well, so I've drove a long ways til I've seen the city limits of Ok. City.
So he took over an we pulled in his drive way one hour later. He said you can go up an wash up an take a nap if you like. So I did. three hours later he came up an said dinner is ready oh good i;m starved. So after we got done he said I'd like to take you to the church and show it to you.
It was a very old building, when I seen it but I told him there's going to be alot of work to do.
2/13/2004 10;50 A.M.
We got started on it first thing in the morning putting in new stuff in the front part of it. rewireing, new ply wood insulation, yes there was going to be alot of work to do, I went down in the basement to see about the pipes an started to undo all of them putting in new water pipes,
then it took anout three weeks to get most of it done. Then came the painting, then I made a sign to go on the out side an it said the LIGHT HOUSE OF GOD. I drawn a light house on the post of the church itself.
2/14/2004 12;00 a,m. 2/14/2004 4;13 p.m.
Well I got the church all done an the man wanted me to stay an help out some more but I told him I've have other places to go.So I got up the next morning an left...It wasn;t to long an caught another ride. I head back towards Missouri. So I got off at the Kansas border. It started to snow just a little the fuhure I went the harder it got. I seen a sign that said Dodge City twenty miles.
It was then snowing so bad I had to stop...I found a barn to get into an stayed there for the night.
It was so cold out that I caouldn;t sleep but try to stay warm.But as the night fell on the bright light came to me again as did before. Then I ask if you are an angel yes we are They are many of us that are watching you as you go do what of God;s work you are doing..I ask is God pleased with my work? They said do you question of what God has for you to do? I said no. They have one for you just up the ways at the truck stop about half hour from you...I said ok I'll do my best.
So as the mornng came on it was getting day light out so I got up an started walking an just up as they said a truck stop was there so I went inside to get a meal. But the waiteres said do you need a plase to stay till this is over I said yes I would appreatcate it yes. So she said you can wash dishes an sweep the floors for you keep oh good I said. She said there is a store room in the back you can put your stuff in. Well it was about three weeks till the storm was over even the roads an hight ways was closed off..So I thought to my self that I'll be here for a while.at least I've got a plase to get out of the cold, so I spent three weeks there at the truck stop.
2/15/2004 at 5;33 p.m.
Doing what ever I could do. Keeping the floors clean.Because of all the snow that was brouht in an the mud. Then finialy the first break came, it stop snowing but the roads have not been cleard yet they said it;d be another three days or so before any one could get out. The mananger ask me where I was headed for after I was done working here I said might go into texsas for a while.She said when you get ready to leave an the roads clear up I'll give you something for your time working,I told her that you just give me a plase for my keep I don;t except any thing more because God will supply my needs. Well are you a christian I said yes he has brought me this way an will take me home when Christ comes back for me. She told me that she used to belive in Christ but she has so much trouble with her truck stop that the money is all going out an none is coming in I told her that Christ is still there for you to just belive in your heart, that he is still there for you.As time went on I left the truck stop but the lady gave me two hundred an fifty dollars for my work I thank her very much an told her may God bless you with your truck stop here,So I headed down towards Texsas to see about how the work was there.I walked quite a ways till it was getting dark out an I could not see to go any more.
2/16/2004 AT 1;03 P.M. 6;12 p.m.
So I found a creek to go an get my fire wood an get a camp set up for the night. I had a small rod an reel to do some fishing with. But no bait,.But I did have some bread so I put it on a hook an it took a bit but caught some small pearch to eat. Then when I got my fish done I heard some what a small noise,look to see what it was a rackcoon. With some little ones,They wanted some thing to eat as well,I had plenty so I give them some, but it didn;t take long an they were gone, But soon after still noises were coimng around me, But alot louder this time, So it scared me to even move.but it was coming in couldn;t make it out only a few min later I did see it it was a coyote;s there was three of them, I knew they wasn;t going to hurt me so all I knew was they too wanted some thing to eat or just courious.about who I was, I noticed that one had a star right between it;s eyes.very unsualy animial. then I layed down to go to sleep then I seen that bright light again, all it said was go to Sweetwater Texsas there is a job for you there,
In the morning I got up an the coyetes was still with me an they followed me for quite a long ways, people in cars stared at me like I was a freak or something, a hightway patrol car stopped an ask me where I was headed for I told him Texsas.to work in the oil fields, he said yes there is lots of work going on there. But he said those dogs will you be alright? I said oh yes,
As long as those dogs was with me I was not going to get any rides but that was ok just the same. So I headed back south again, going into oklahoma would take a while but I knew I wa going to get there, I did not want to go through Ok City so I look for a way around it, So I went over towards highway sixty nine went south that way I knew it'd be easry that way.
2/17/2004 at 9;40 a.m. 7;45 p.m.
So I cut across to get to the Oklahoma border.I'll make it before to long. But I just took my time getting there.
2/18/204 at 11'00 a.m.
I had my map with me so I got it out to see where I could go, Well I thought to my self why dodn;t you go to Wichitia Kansas, so ok thats where I'll go for now, well while I was walking I seen a lake an thought I'd do some fishing, well I was there longer that I wanted to be an now it;s getting dark on me, So I set up camp there by this beautiful lake,There was all kinds of wild life there that you just can;t imamange of the amianials that was there. An my coyets was still with me. They are starting to keep me alot of company, They seem to be talking to me.I've a;lways had a way with animials of some kind. Quite a ways up the road there was a plase there I'd seen look like a good size lake so I stop there for the night.
2/22/2004 at 1;43 p.m.
When I stop for the night there at this lake, I caught a few fish to eat,had a good fire going cause the chill was in the air. But the morning came soon enough, So I look around to see if the coyetes was still there Well they was gone so I gues they'd took off durning the night.Well by the time I got ready to go there came two boys down an ask me is there any fish in this lake? I said yes an there are good catching if you can find any bait.I had some grubs that I had an gave then what I had. So I started down to Wichitia, well the way it looks on this map I'll be there by morning, So I'll walk all that day caught a ride about three miles later they was going right to Wichitia they ask me where you going I said Wichitia, well get in were going there. They ask me where do you live at I said I used to live in Joplin Mo. What you ding this way? I said looking for work, the people said there;s work there what kind do you do? I said any thing I can find, as long as I make a little money,they told me there;s a truck stop that needs a person that can work on trucks or cars well I told them sure I'm good with motors of any kind, well I thought to myself it;s Saturday after noon an I can go to church or find one some where, then they ask me if I go to church I said yes when I find one. Then I ask them the same thing they said not all the time. I told them as long as you belive in God an Christ,they said yes that we do belive but it seems some time that there not listening to us,
2/23/2004 at 7;37 a.m. 8;50 P.M.-- 12;30 A.M.
Then I told them oh yes God always is there for you no matter where you are at,he;s always there to listening to your prayers an answering them as well. When I'm out walking all I look for is nothing but a ride from one plase to another,I mean no one no harm,
2/27/2004 at 9;53 a.m.
Well any way I got my ride to Wichitia an yes I found work there as a servise attendent at a gas
staion.It didn;t last but two weeks an I'm on to Texsas I knew that there was work there in the oil fields,an I could make some money,It took me about three weeks to get to Sweetwater Texsas,So after I got to Texsas I ask where I can find work in the oil fields? Well at this one cafe I was told to put my name in a box an be here every morning around six, So I did, it took about three, days but one guy came in he was a burly type but he ask if any one wanted to work? I stood up an said I do,an he ask me if I've ever work in the fields before? I told him no, but willing to learn then he ask me if I was scared of heights? I said no again he said I'm going to start you on the very top of the oil derick, you can weld can;t you yes I said an when I got there boy it was high.
So they put a harness on me an told me to step on that plat form, So I did an he said I want you to fix the brases of the frame. But he went up with me to see if I could do a good job after an hour or so he said you are doing just fine, I want to give you this pager to carry with you where you live at night. I ask him for what,
it might be for calls to you for a job that might come up,Well I was working there for five months already at eight hours a day,but when I did go home.
2/28/2004 at 8;00 p,m.
An get something to eat my pager would go off.So they said we;ll pick you up in an hour,so I'd be ready when they come by.Sometime it;d be there in Sweetwater or in Lubick Texsas, They;d have a job for me to do somewhere, but the money was real good, I was getting paid every week, most of it I was sending back to my bank in Joplin Mo.Well I'd been working in the oil fields for almost a year now then one day they come an said were shutting it all down,You all can pick up your checks here, Then I was wondering where to go from here.maybe i;d go back north to see what I can find,
2/29/2004 at 8;00 a.m.
While I was working there in the oil fields there, was some of the guys that ask me while I was eating my lunch. Are you a christian? I said yes I am, why you ask? We noticed that you was reading a Bible, they ask me, we'd like to know about this Christ you know, yes ok So.I told them first you must belive that Christ is the Son of God. an the he raised him from the dead.This is the first step in salvation.An confess with your mouth that Christ is Lord. this you will find this in Romans 10;9,10, when you do you will feel better than you ever did before.
But being a christian is a alot to take on you;ll get you needs meet by God, Will do alot for you all you have to do is belive,an have faith in him.Well while I was talking to them the main boss came up an to see what was going on, the other guys told him that this man is a christian an belives in God.an Christ. he said this is not a church we,ve got work to do here,but after work he took me home an ask me can I belive in this God of yours? I said yes you can.It's very easy to do, just belive, He said well thats not hard at all! I said well realy there;s alot to it, he said what do you mean? I told him when you except Christ as your savior you will go throught alot even then the people that you go to a church you chosse to go to, they will notice that you;ve changed even you will notice it, God will sipply all your needs all you have to do is belive in him,Well after we had talked for over an hour he left felling much better than he did. Is what he told me,he said thanks I said no give God thanks. I also told him give God thanks in every thing you do,an he will openly reward you.Well after that day I never saw him again. So I packed my stuff up an left. But it was getting dark out I thought I'd go somewhere to sleep for the night, I found a cafe to get some dinner.While I was there a man came up to me I thought I'd seen a ghost but no it wasn;t,he was very kind to me.He told me that if you want to find more work go to Arkansas you can find work there planting trees for the forest there.Well in his statement that shocked me, but it seems that he was reading my thoughts,I ask are you an angel he said yes we been watching you all the way here an you have been doing a wonderful job an talking to them about God, He told me that;s a long way there go to the most southeren part of it an wait,The plase is called poision springs. there is a big lake down there an a park go there an wait.
So after I got done with my dinner I left, An headed that way.I was hoping to get a car some plase one that would get me there.Well one week later I run across a car lot an this saleman tryed to sell this one car that I did not like but there;s one a Buick Skylark that was real nise I ask him how much for that buick? He said it needs alot of work done on it,well I told him I can get it running with no problem at all.He said if you can I'll tale one hundred dollars for it,I said it;s a deal. Well I had to get some tools at a store but did not know where, So I ask him where can I get some tools at? He told me about half a mile you can get them there, so I walked to it an get what I needed, a cheap set but they did the job.
Well it took me about tree days but I got it runnig real smooth,he ask me you know alot about cars I said well a little just enought to get them running in good shape.He ask me again if I want to work for him selling cars I said no I got a job waiting for me in Arkansas, I just need a good car to get me there,he told me if I was up his way to stop in,I told him I will.So I took my car an went on with a thirty day tag on it,but before I left he gave me a spare tire an a tank full of gas,I knew it was running real good, cause it seems to me I just left but I drove for hours.
3/3/2004 at 3;40 p.m.

So the owner gave to me. The meal was a real good home cooked,They had showers so I could get cleaned up.
3/4/2004 at 5;00 p.m.
After a bit I got cleaned up with a good shower. I went to them an ask if they had
a cabin that I can get some sleep,they said yes it's ten dollars a night,That;d be fine.I ask where is this place they call Poision Springs Ark? They said yes you are about seventy five miles from here.It was about eight in the after noon,an geting dark.

They told me to go down six miles then turn left at the single road, there the go six more miles you'll find a park there it;s not much but that is where you want to go.Well in the morning I got up went a ways found a small cafe got some breakfast. Well I found the Springs there was a big lake. There an boy was it realy nise, There I found a sort of bait shop an grocery store there.
3/8/2004 at 11;00 a.m.
I went the to get a few things I might need to do some fishing, An ask them if thy had a small boat I can use to go out to see if could catch something? They told me that the catfish are spawing right now an you might catch some out in the middle of the lake, I ask what kind of bait do they use here? He said mainly worms,if you can find them,well I ask do you have any? He said no but there;s a plase they do dig a few an they real good size worms,well ok I've got a small shovel to do my digging with.Well I got my boat an went out to see where the best plase I can catch a few well I spoted a plase then I seen some moving around but, it look small but I bet it was realy deep, so I set there for a while an no bites, but
it was getting dark I thought I'd head back but it got to dark for me to see so I found a plase to camp for the night, then suddenley I heard a boat of some kind,I gues it was lookig for me. I had already had my camp fire going an a pot of coffoee made. As they got closer I can hear foot steps there was more than one,
I didn;t know what to think but I was not scared of any thing,I hollered at them welcome come an set an have some coffoee with me,But as they got a little closer I knew it was three of them, I told them I didn;t have much but you are welcome to what I've got, then all of a sudden I seen this big bright light,shineing coming from them, I ask them are you angles? they said yes, we ave been following you around of the work that you have been doing, I told them I was down trying to catch some fish but haven;t had no luck in doing so,One of them told me if you go down to the edge of the water you will catch something there,so I did, it was not very long an I had brought back a stringer full of catfish, just big enought for a good meal.One of them handed me a bag of cornmeal.So I can fix some cornbread,an the small pan I had with me fix the fish in an boy it was eal good eating,they said the blessing over it an after it was all done they told me after my job here planting the trees for the forestery,to go back to my home town an wait there. The lake I was at was very peaseful an quite, it was bout three days before the man I was to plant trees for got there,he showed alot of people that came to do the work for,they showed us how to plant the trees,we worked quite a few days but on saturday an sunday we were off,so I went out for walking around to fully see the plase that we were in an I thought to my self God has made this truely a beautiful plase,so peaseful an quite, but there was two people a man an a woman that wanted to stay in an not go out when time was for to do our jobs,So the main guy told them to leave,we were getting paid ten cents a tree to plant the tree;s an boy it was not an easy job but I kept up with them,Some of them was planting over seven thousands trees a day, an as time went on to finish off planting we was given our pay I brought over, eight thousands dollars to take home with me,but I stayed there for a few days just to rest up,then I went an got some groceres to eat.Then I went an filled up my car,I had a Buick Skylark it was running real good for a while, then I headed back towards Joplin Mo,I got there early in the morning.Well after
I got there I rembered that the angles told me to wait, but where was I to wait at? So I thought I'd head for the falls an camp there, durning the night,the angles came back an told me to head north to a apple orchard there, you will find a job for a long time there, so I did as they told me. I ask them where is this orchard at, they said it call Central States Orchard,but before I went to the orchard I was at joplin Mo. for a while,there I meet a girl, at my friends house,he said I've got someone I'd like for you to meet I said ok but I've got a job waiting for me up north of here. Well when she came in she was riding a three wheel biycycle,an when I seen her I thought to my self is this the one maybe I can find love here with her?
So I stayed in Joplin a while longer.She said that she was a christian I said well so am I.so we lived together for a while.Then I noticed all she was eating was crackers an chessee. I told her let me take you an I'll buy some things for you an cook dinner for you.She said ok so I got over three hundred dollars worth of groceries for her, but all she picked out was things she wanted,but I got all kinds of meat's.
an we took all of the gro's home. An I fixed her one real good dinner,an she told me that I was a real good cook. I said yes I can fix any kind of dish you may want. I ask her do you like to go fishing. She yes I said well may be one day we can go an do some camping.Well later on we did just that we moved to Eldarado Springs Mo.
got a home there. Then I got a job there at a salvageyard, I drove back an forth every day, she told me that there's a real nise plase to do some fishing or camping at Shell City there, so I told her maybe on the week end we can can go.Well one week end we did go fishing. An I told her that we are going to the lake, so we are getting up real early the next morning, Well it was about four in the morning to get the stuff ready to go.we stoped at a store an got some more groceries. Then we got there about six that morning. I had our boat in my van so I set out some trot lines, with different types of bait's. we had done all of fishing but didn't catch very much so we decided to leave.
Sunday afternoon, then after we got back home she mentioned about a dam there in Stockton,I ask her how far is it she said about thirty miles from here, So I told her the next time I get a day off we'll go an check it out.So on the next week end I did get the weekend off so I told her that we are going for a camping trip,an we'll be leaving early so we can get there early, So we loaded everything we had an went to the store to get a few extra things that we neened.I had just got a real good lead on a van but it had no back seats so I told the guy that will be perfect. For what I neened it for,an I found a real good deal on a jon boat motor an the diffent things the man give me for it.So I got is all linenced up to use it as well. Well we got there an it took us a while to find a good place but it was back in the woods a bit.But it was peaseful an quite. I went out an set quite a few trot lines in around the dam there at the Stockton Dam. throw lines, bank lines, did catch a few real good ones.I knew there was very deep waters where I was at. Well later on I heard a vey big noise going off it scared me a bit, I ask her what it was she said that they were sirons of the dam letting the flood gates opening up, Well we went up to the road to see it an it was quite a site. An you could see the fish coming from the lakes.Then during that day it started to rain,we were out on the lake an got caught in it, So we ran for the shore of the banks.Left the boat tied up,an ran for the van but before we could get there we were soaked to the bone, but it only lasted for about an hour.then it was all over, I went to see about the boat an it was full of water an all of our bait was gone. well, I told her after it quites let close up camp an head for home, she told me about one that was called Shell City, I said maybe we can go on another time but I've got to get back to work.Well I went but he told me that he didn;t have any thing for me right now but later on he's got some stuff coming in on some trucks. An alot will be done cutting up some iron for short iron,Well it was two weeks before I got to work again.
I told her that we can go to this Shell City, an see about doing some camping there.We were in Eldarado Springs Mo for about a year. Then she wanted to go back to Joplin Mo so we packed everything up an moved. By the time we got to Joplin an got settled in I was offered a job in Chillicothee Mo,at a apple orchard. So when I left to the orchard I left her with enough money to pay her bills. But later on I got a call about some bad checks if I knew where she was at? I said no I don;t but I knew then that I was not going to let her go to jail.So I ask if I could send the money to pay them off. The man told me yes I can so he made some calls to verify that she had, so I sent the money there to be paid off the checks that she had. An then I ask if I could go there to see what happened.Well I got my time off but it took me a while to go an find her, After I found her I ask her about the money I'd give her to pay her bills with. She said she had spent it. I ask her on what? I said that was alot of money to go throught. I don't see how. Then later on we had been fighting quite a bit I got tired of it. An thought to my self I got to get out of this. But how? later on that night I had a dream an it came to me there go to Muskoggoee Ok. But I ask what is there? So I knew it was just more than a dream it was an angel told me where to go. So I knew not to question it just leave, So I did. So I told her the next day lets go to our friends house there for a short visit. She said ok it'd be good for us to get out of the house for a while. So the nerxt day we left there but before we got there I started having trouble with my legs. Seems like they are not working right. Can not move at all. Well there was a man in the house ask if there was any thing wrong I said yes I can not move can you call for help? Well he did but it was almost two hours an no one showed up, Well I started to get feelings back in my legs. So we did finialy make to our friends, I told him that I got to get away from her can you help me? He said yes I'll take her to the cafe down the street an you catch the bus out of town.
So I did. but it was not to long I got to this plase to get some help but even no one there did not want to help me. I told them if you don't I'm leaving here the first chance I get. so they come an told me that they wanted to go in a place for a rest for a while,Well I didn't know what I was getting myself into but I went along with it. Yes it was a place for to rest, but it was also for the mentaly handecapped, an I know I was not that but I did make a few friends there an also found a job at the libary, it took alot of my time I loved the work, I had alot of rules to go by an some was not so bad. You had to be in at a certain time, if not you got yelled at or grounded for some reason or another. Well later on about six moths later I told them that I wanted to move out on my own, I was told that I'd never make it, But I did cause I knew out an what to do to survive. Well I found a house there not to far from the libary so I could walk back an forth. Well I found a house rent was reasonable that I could afford. It was small but big enought just for one. then one morning a ploiseman came by about two in the morning an ask me if I could give these people a plase to rest an a bite to eat? I said sure bring them in, Well that's where I made my mistake.Of letting them come into my home but as for me I can not say no,It's because I'm was a christian an I felt on my heart to help these people. So I did. It cost me alot of money for them to eat an they did not put nothing in as for the bills went. They had the run of the house an did nothing. I had a plase for a vegtable garden an raised alot of stuff but the people round the block kept stealing it.Then while I was working at the libary there at Muskogee Ok. this one girl come online to chatt with me, I told her that I do not have time right now but will later on. Then she was her id on yahoo was [hope_joy_pease] then early the next morning she was on an then wanted to if i had time to chatt? An she said God loves you well that realy supprised me.So I said yes for a little bit cause I work at the libary here in Muskogee Ok.
Then one other time she came on as [christianfellowship_us@yahoo.com] she ask me if age matters to you? I said no why, She said as long as you love someone that shouldn't matter. To me this I wondered who she was. I knew that she had someting to share with me, An she knew it as well as I did.
I told her that I'll try to come up to meet you. But her mother found out an she done her best to talk her out of it but she was very stronged willed an she done what she wanted to. So I did go up to Ohio an we meet. I went to Kings Island Park, we meet there for the first time,We set an tallk quite a bit. Then went out to a dinner movie an it was over before I knew it,an sorry that it was.for I thought well this is the last time that I'd see her. I was scared to death.An didn't know why.she drop me off at a motel so I could leave in the morning.But she ask me if I'd come back I told her yes if you want me too. I told myself that woman was so full of love I that is what I was looking for. I knew that I had to come back.
But I myself was 60 years old an she was only 18.she was lonely an I knew it. An so was I. Well it was about a month later but we kept in touch on out yahoo messenger. An she then told me that she mises me an like for me to come up an take her with me. I told her that I'll be up as soon as I can get a chance too. Well I did go back. Then we went to Ok to get married. Yes it was a short engaement but we loved each other an she has alot to teach each other. Well she did call her family in Muskogee Ok. An they were very worried about her, Then I talked with them. Then I was put in jail for a fine that was suppsed to be paid.Well her dad an mom came down to get her an he got me out of jail. He told me there's nothing I can do now but you are part of the family now. Well we went to Ohio to live for a while.
So we moved there to Ohio for a while then she got pregant with our first born son. Joseph Wayne Murry.Then I decied to go to Joplin Mo. to find us a home there. But I had to hitchhike all the way there from Middletown Ohio to Joplin Mo. I was hoping to get a bus ticket from Dayton or Cinn Ohio to get me there but it did not happen.So I walked, it was quite aways it took me three weeks but I did make it.
By the time I got there I had very little money to eat on. so I did still get us a home with what funds I had from a man in Carthage Mo. So I had a very expencive cameria of her's an had to sell it to get some food to eat. I only got $50.00 for it. It did not last very long but I streched it out as far as I could.
Then something I did not like doing is break into two different stores to get something to eat. Then later on I found a plase to go an eat every day at the Salvation Army. It wasn't much but I eat just the same. Then I found a sister there in Joplin an she helped me out with a few things to eat. Then I did started to get some salvagework at different places. One at the rail road an another one right behind our house. Well it brought in some money but not much. But it paid our bills with what I did bring in.
Collecting cans, copper, brass an other metals. Then she wanted me to stop getting all that is why the city kept getting on me for a dirty yard, Well we went out at night to go to a convience store to just set an watch the trafic go by.It was very peaseful at that time. Then we went there one day an she was forgot her check book an went back to get it but when she got back she said her water broke.I knew then it was time for her to give birth to our first born son. Joseph Wayne Murry. He was very early 6 weeks in fact. But after he came they wanted to take him to another hospitial, he was born july 2 2001, at 11;58 at night. boy was I proud of him. After they put him there I knew that he was going to be staying. But the little guy got better, He had problems with his lungs, they put some medcations in him for to take out the fluid in there. He was there for almost a month but he was finialy released the 15 of July an we brought him home. So when we did bring our son home I thought our problems was over but no they weren't. They just begun, The family servises got involved from the hospitial from a doctor there, it was said that we were living in our car,but we did not have one,so there was a lady that come by to offer help to my wife.Well it was a long time but she was doing real well with us. We had to get an aircondation for the house an we got one for our son still had breathing problems.Yes of course he was just weeks old an I knew that he would grow out of it,
Well about six months later on he got alot stronger, An growing like a weed. then one day she told me that she thought she was pregant again. we found out that we were having another boy, in my prayers I ask God for a son now we've got two boys.an I was even prouder than ever. He was also born early supposed to be born in August but was born in June the 28, of 2003. elven months apart from our first born son, He was in the hospitial for only five weeks.then they let him come home. but that was not the first fight we had with the family servises, our family called in on us several times, But they finialy got used to it so they ingnored them. Caused they knew how we were with our sons, but then they come out to a visit an they took them out of our home but it wasn;t long before we got them back, They told us if we can take our boys out of the state to live with her parents, I did not like the idea of that. I want to move to Branson Mo. To make a new home there but her parents wanted us to come up to Ohio, so we did.In the process of moving to Ohio Andrea an the boys went there an I stayed behind to get things ready for her dad to come an pick me up an our things that we had.Well alot of our stuff got left I was upset for doing so for I had worked hard for what we did have. All of our pots pans dishes silver ware every thing.It was hard but we are trying to replase what we did have.I could've got a guy up the street to haul all of our stuff but did not.
Well we stayed with them for about six months.then found a plase of our own, for even when I wanted to do something she was always going out, or calling her mother or family, this I did not like but I put up with it no matter what. Then one day she came to me an said she thought she was expecting anothr baby, I was hoping on a girl this time,well my hopes that I got,for the daughter that I had lost. An now God give me another one, to take her plase, well Joyce Ann was born July 4 2004 an she was very tiny little thing but after she was born they ask us if they could take her to the childerens hospitial for she too had a lung disorder.An needed help.
Well she was up there for only a few days an then we brought her home. An boy was I very proud of my little kitten. Well my wife told me that was all the kids that we were going to have I said yes it's about time.
so she had her tubes tied so she can not have any more. Well I said we've got two boys an one girl. Most presious little things we've got our family. That God has given us, It has been quite a struggle to make it throught all that we've done, But we've survived it all. An come out smelling like a rose.When the worsed getts you down then you learn to fight,a very good an hard fight.As for our daughter Joyce Ann we've had to put up a real good fight to do what we can, So that she can survive as well. We've had to stay up late at night feeding her every two hours,She is still very small but growing just a little every day.This I know God will see us throught all of it.Well this is going to be one Christmas that alot of people will never forget.
The christmas we had here in Ohio was very strange but it was different, I did not feel like going to her grandmothers for dinner but she had brought me something back it was not much but it was good just the same. She went to her mom an dads an she brought back some of the presents that they had got. Well I can say this that the christmas was not the same as it was when I was growing up.
