I'm sitting at my booth at Vintage Vogue on Saturday when a cute, little elderly woman walks up. She looks at my book display, & starts reading my newspaper articles. I smile brightly at her & say "Hello," to which she looks at me, smiles & says, "I voted for you." Thinking I've misunderstood, I say, "Excuse me?"

I had asked many people to pray for me on Sunday, November 8, as that's the day I was to be the main speaker at Highland Trinity. The Lord's presense was with me throughout the entire service! I felt so the calming presense of the holy spirit flowing as I spoke!
