Being handicap... I was unable to take a bath in a tub for ten years... Until "Sent Of God... Angel Dove." Father God sent me Charles. He encouraged me to... "Take A Bath." I told him I was not able to get in and out of a tub. Charles started to cry... Saying he often takes a bath after a hard day at work. He said, as he would enjoy the warm water he would pray and thank God for the opportunity to take a bath, realizing that probably 3/4 th of the worlds population could not enjoy a warm bath. Now Father God has allowed him to help me in and out of a tub of warm water to take a tub bath. Amen. Hallelujah! What a blessing! I don't want to leave the impression that I don't bathe as I shower almost daily. But when Charles heard me say... "I haven't taken a bath in 10 years... He couldn't believe it!" After I explained to him about the showers... He laughed; after he cried, and said, "What a title for a new book!" It's the little things that we take for granted that we as Americans don't realize how other people in other countries do not have even good clean water let alone have the opportunity to take a bath. For instance... I saw a documentary showing in India, the people bathing in the dirty water of the Ganges River. They not only bath there, the cows bath there, they do their laundry in the Ganges River and various other asundry things they do in the river. Back in the 1700-1800's folks bathed in a horse trough, a river or a bucket made of wood. As a child we had a big metal galvanized washtub. Mother would heat the water on the stove in a teakettle and pans. She poured the hot water into the washtub. Then she added cool water and checked the temperature with her elbow. All 3 of us girls bathed in the kitchen in that tub of water. It was too much work to fill and refill it 3 times. Saturday night was bathing night before going to Church on Sunday morning. If my Grandmother who passed away at 97 years of age, would have lived to see bathtubs that some folks walk into today, her comment would be, "My... What is the world coming to?" Many times I find myself saying the same thing about our world. In this age of computers and electronics, I make the same comments. "What is this world coming to?" I agree, a bath is much easier today than when I was a young girl, that's for sure! Like I said, "Things are really changing... Mankind has it easier all the time." Now we must talk about some other things that Sister Joy has startled me with, "Charles... I think I am in love with you! He said, "OK." Isn't that a romantic comment? "Charles... May I come into your bedroom?" I was surprised! Grandma would rollover in her grave if she heard me say that! "Charles... Will you do this... Will you do that..." After we were married, I asked him to help me into and out of public restrooms, as we always had to make sure no other ladies were in them. I'm sure you have seen Poise commercials. Those things come to us in old age. One day at the WalMart I see Charles fairly skipping down the isle with 2 packages in his hands. I wish I had a camera. For you younger generation... When you choose your life partner to be married to, ask yourself this question, "Will they be willing to change my Pampers for me " Before we go any further... We should explain that we have already said, "Being handicap... I was unable to..." You see... Sister Joy had Polio at 17 years of age. Now at age 85 she has had Post Polio Syndrome raise its ugly head. So, before you go and judge us... Remember, Sister Joy was honest when she said, "I think I am in love with you!" Sister Joy simply asked my permission to come into my room to talk when we were just starting our relationship. Joy says that our sins are not only covered by the...

About the Author: Joy Renee' Blackburn, Minister and Founder of GOD'S HOUSE INTERNATIONAL In Lakeview, Ohio, says, I was born during the Depression in Springfield, Ohio, to wonderful parents who had a Christian background. I had two sisters; and we were born two years apart. As we grew older, dad and mom quit going to church but they would insist that we girls go. They didn't quit all at once, they would attend during the holidays or if we had a part in the Christmas plays. That was expected of any "good parent." Yet, at the age of 11, my mother and father divorced. We girls were never around to hear them argue, so the divorce was quite a jolt. Dad kept my middle sister and me, and our youngest sister went to Texas with mother and grandmother for a short time. We had several babysitters, but none worked out, so Dad took us to St. Mary's of the Springs School for Girls.

On September 5, 2006 Jesus called Charles to take "Exclusive Rights" to go to the people and investigate and write books to document Signs, Wonders, and Miracles that He is doing right now. The Book of Acts was just a start of what God is doing. Today He is very busy, but we have not seen anything yet! Daily Signs, Wonders and Miracles are taking place at a phenomenal pace and God told Charles they would continue to increase in intensity until Jesus comes! Charles has traveled to Alaska, Cambodia, Canada, Guam, Japan, Vietnam and Wake Island. In recent years, Charles has traveled the US and Canada. God has opened his eyes to the lack in many churches. Many people today are simply "Playing Church." They are under a "Curse of Religious Spirits" or "Religiosity." Charles ministers in churches, in speaking engagements and in his writings to impart the end-time truth that "God is who He says He is!" And "God will do what He said He will do!" The purpose of this writing is to prove "WHO GOD IS." Charles has written many poems published on the World Wide Web. They live in a home at Indian Lake, Lakeview, Ohio USA. They have between them, five wonderful Sons and have gained wonderful Daughters plus thirty-two wonderful Grand and Great Grand Children. Amen. Hallelujah!
