Katie Gives Me a Guitar

Katie Gives Me a Guitar

This was for my birthday, the 11th of February 2009, when I was turning 24 years old. My older sister, Katie Jean Arnold, got me a black round-back guitar, that actually came from the then-boyfriend Forest. I think I had duct-tape on my glasses at that time. I met Katie and my younger sister Crystal at a café in Portland, OR USA. Forest was there this time, I believe. In April, I write and perform on guitar the song Animals Are Dying.

Little Crystal Riding Hood

My older sister, Katie Jean Arnold, got me to play the big bad wolf in a bear mask from cousin Alan Williams (or at least he recognized it once), my younger sister Crystal to play the little red riding hood, and Lisa Evers as the mother and grandma of the little red riding hood, during the day after our dad came home with a camcorder for my brother's birthday which is on the 5th of February 1996.

We made the Little Crystal Riding Hood in the afternoon of Friday, the 2nd of February 2013.

Christ Entered My Heart

Christ Entered My Heart

When I was five years old, in the year 1990, I heard Pastor Dave Webber mention how Christ knocks, and I was thinking that Jesus was only knocking on the door of just my heart and nobody else in the world, now or ever. I was paying attention at the Cornelius Community Baptist Church in Cornelius, OR USA.

After church, at home, I asked my mother but she was busy with baby Crystal, my younger sister. My brother led me in the prayer to ask Christ to forgive and take away my sins and to enter into my life. We did this in our room. I was looking at the heater on the ground as I said the prayer.
