TO MY FELLOW MUDCATTERS:

Some of you have met me and some have read my posts... The recent ones I have posted were rather harsh and cold. Being a minister does not leave me immune to emotional and personal struggles... In fact, any minister worth his salt will tell you that the struggle gets harder as you go furthur along, becoming more the man or woman God wants you to be day by day. I spoke very harshly about people "stealing songs"... I was and still am in the middle of a great crisis of choice in my life... God blessed me with the ability to sing and play and to preach His Word, but He also instilled in me a love for wandering and being a musical missionary. My days lately are filled with the struggle to allow God to reign in my life in this area while remaining faithful to do the work He has already given me, while keeping my sometimes-obsessive self away from all the old skeleton temptations that come my way from my old life as a drunkard and abuser of "social" drugs like ciggies, etc.

Please accept my sincere apology for not speaking in these posts in a way that honors God and my commitment to Him... I was not acting in the name of Christ but in the name of a very frustrated human... If it is your bag, please pray for me. If not, please offer good thoughts on my behalf in whatever way you deem right. If I am to make it through this time in my life, it will be because God is loving and perfect and the good saints here on Earth are interceding for me. God Bless you all... I truly am sorry.

Steve
