, The Day my Legendary W. W. II, Army Chaplain, Preacher-man Grandpa help lead me to Accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

Roll the Introduction Please.

It was a hot and sunny day in Northern Louisiana. My grandfather walked past me, with his great big bear like hands, and he picked me up. He loved to call me his little shadow, as I followed him wherever he went. On this day he asked me if I’d like to go fishing with him.

That was an offer, this eight year old Louisiana boy, could not say no to. yes grandpa I do want to go with you. in reality I wanted to be just like him. Okay, then my little shadow let’s go get in the truck and drive to town. There’s a few things I want to buy you first.

this was already starting out to be a great day and a great adventure.

Roll the Poem Please:

When You go fishing, you have to have brand new clothes right?

This little eight year old Louisiana Boy did.

My torn and stained jeans, I always hid.

So, we began the day with a pair of new boots,

and a cowboy hat and a couple of pair of new Levis.

I and my self-esteem was never so High.

When we left the store,, I saw a large bag in the back of the truck.
