Hi I joined singsnap through a friend incolel last year, its been fun . especially when we sang Flower of Scotland To Gether My Mexican friend and me From Scotland then been singing duets with my Friends from China and Friends from USA .on many occasions ..and so on ...me !! A senior citizen tied at home ...unusual for me through illness yet reaching out and making friends here in Singsnap from all over the world.. that I find amazing...
I was born in Glasgow in 1931 so I aint no chicken !!! . it doesnt seem to matter here to much im beginning to notice,was a boy at the beginning of the 1939 war and yes heard the bombs dropping sirens going as a matter of course nite after nite it seems and we huddled in the shelters search lights lighting the sky 100 yards away at end of my street.seeking out the bombers intent in dropping their lethal cargo on us .. little young then to realise the maimed injured and dead amidst the rubble of their homes... over at Clydebank .... we as kids were out after wards looking for shrapnel .. ,, spent bullets. inocence of youth .. that was only my wee part of world multiply that 100 fold .... and we get some idea what was happening to this Wonderful World.....Created By God Devastated by Man who is still picking up the pieces..... and yet with all our advances in every field medicine science education you name it ..... nothings changed and wars still continue.....
I grew up got married in 1956 to my wife of 48 years till she died in 2004 , we had three children now also married with their own children . I was never brought up religeous , but we were normal family honest hard working dad, who loved to sing in his bed or whistle as he came along the street after his night shift as a baker..... I close my eys and hear him yet... he died 1966.In 1961 a Young American Evangelist was hitting the head lines of our national press .some for some against this American Evangelism being imprted from USA, to our very Conservative churches..In The UK . ( You Get The Drift ?) not being church minded at all , I never went to Church in those days .... iAs I said was cotroversial oh yes many Churches wellcomed Billy Graham for sure or his meetings would not hve happened ...... As For Me ? I was just the man in the street still A good man family man who wanted the best for his kids ,young then, one thing couldn,t do was to tell my kid about Jesus... You See I didnt Know Him.my self . And .. wanted to hear for myself, I did , I went to his meeting held Stadium of Soccer team in Glasgow Rangers Ibrox Park it was a day my life was Changed a I surrendered my whole future to God in placing it in His hands, ....question of the then day was .... "Do Billy Graham converts last ? " . well,.... im still here still keeping the faith ,,,48 years later.... my future secured for all eternity as i sang some time ago......
