I was born and raised on a small Island off the East Coast of Newfoundland, Canada, known as Flat Island.Flat Island only had a population of approx. 80 people and fishing was the main means of making a living.There was a one room school there, with K.G. to grade 9, I only got as far as the 7th grade officially, and at the age of 12, due to the lack of qualified teachers in small isolated communities, I quit school and went fishing with my father . I fished for ten years before leaving the Island and going to a town on the mainland, where I eventually took a carpentry course in which God greatly blessed me, and led me to greater things in regards to a better living , even leading me to my own construction company , and later to several supervisor positions , in different types of construction including the job from which I retired ,after over seventeen years service with the Provincial Government.It was while I was still working with the Provincial Government, that God gave me dreams and revelations starting in 1995, that hence came my calling, and the writing of this book.I was not called to preach or teach the word as a Pastor or Teacher, but to remind people and the Churches what they were doing wrong. I felt like Moses, when God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, and said, Lord , surely you don't want me to do this, I have very little education and I can't even Speak well, as quick as a wink a voice from within said, neither could Moses I knew then that this was the voice of God speaking to me, and I had to obey His call , and keep my promise to him, and was reminded that God don't call the qualified , but qualifies the called .
