THE TRUTH DOESN’T CARE by Randolph Jason for Gospel News Network
My wife ask me to tell my story, she ask me to write a book and after about a two hesitation I began several months ago. Not sure when, but the last day I worked on it was June 3, 2021. The goal is 52,000 words and I have just over 6,000 to date. This is not just some random number. It is a calculated guess at the number of words that make up the first 164 pages of the book Alcoholics Anonymous.
What I learned while attending meetings, most weeks multiple meetings per week, was how we are to tell our story. Broken down over an hour long testimony it should be 10 minutes of who we were followed by 10 minutes of what happened finished off with 40 minutes of what it’s like now. This is the approach that I’m taking with the book.
Below is the opening of the book and some of what is discussed in the video.
Now is your chance to support Gospel News Network.
We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
There will be a series of these videos produced as I go through this process. It seems like a good way to walk through everything and ensure I am saying what needs to be said.
The Story Begins…
The truth about myself does not change simply because I refuse to look at the truth about myself. ~Anonymous
The Truth is the Truth wether we believe it, accept it or acknowledge it. It remains the Truth.
How does one begin telling their story?
This is dedicated to those who have stood by my side when the whole world ran away. They kept me warm when all I deserved was nothing. Namely my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Linda and Steve Denny, my wife Ginger who has believed in me even when she shouldn’t have and the people that surrounded me, housed me when I had nowhere to live and fed me when I had nothing to eat. Brian and Charlotte along with their amazing family, including Big Dave and Gardner loved me even when I hated me. I owe these people a debt of gratitude that can only be repaid through never being who I was before, even for a minute. I love you all beyond words and beyond this world.
