What is the best piece of advice that I have ever received?

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?  First, the best piece of advice that I have ever received was to get baptized on Sunday February 15th, 2015 at Fort McKinley United Methodist Church located on 3721 West Siebenthaler Avenue Dayton, Ohio 45406.  My AA Sponsor helped me to get baptized right along with Pastor Jon Morgan, who was the Pastor at Fort McKinley United Methodist Church during a 12 year stint.  My Pastor made sure that I would get baptized because I officially repented of all of my sins to God & Jesus Christ & to everyone worldwide on that day because it was-18 degrees below zero and God was with me.  Second, I was advised to remain in the Toledo, Ohio Area in order to graduate from the University of Toledo on Saturday June 12, 1993 & On Saturday June 17, 1995.  I was thinking about moving back to Dayton, Ohio because my house; 126 Rosalind Place Toledo, Ohio 43602 was deliberately set on fire.  I had lost everything that I have in the fire.  Therefore, I had to move to another house 4 miles away from Cherry Street in Toledo, Ohio.   I was working 3 jobs , and I was attending The University of Toledo on a full-time basis.   I was working at the University of Toledo William Carlson Library from December of 1992 through June 15, 1996.  I was working at the Jerusalem Outreach Center located on 445 Dorr Street for a total of 3 years.   I also worked at the University of Toledo William Savage Hall as an Usher from December 1, 1991 through June 15, 1996.  I also worked temporarily at the University of Toledo Bookstore for 3 years.   My Landlords house was inside of an excellent neighborhood.   The House was located on 526 Highland Avenue off of Collingwood Boulevard in the Toledo Ohio Area.   My Landlord's Family members allowed me to stay at the house until I graduated with my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies & Social Work.   Two years earlier, I graduated with my Assistant Degree in Applied Sciences in the Social Services Technology Profession from the University of Toledo County and Technical College at Scott Park.   The reason why I had to attend a Community and Technical College because I had a 1.1 Grade Point Average in High School at the Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday June 10, 1986 at the Dayton Memorial Hall at 7:00pm through 9:30PM.   The Memorial Hall was right across the street from Patterson Cooperative High School on Second Street and Sinclaire  Avenue in Downtown Dayton, Ohio.  Afterwards, I walked to the Bus Stop on West Third & Main Street to catch the bus with my Cap and Gown on from the High School Graduation.   On that  day, I was the oldest student to graduate from Paul Laurence Dunbar High School In History.   I was 20 years old when I earned my High School Diploma.   The following year, I attended Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio for only 2 years.   I moved out of my Great House to the YMCA for 3 years.   I enlisted in the United States Marines Corps on January 21, 1988.  I didn't stay very long because I wanted to finish College.  Third, and Finally, I got into a fist fight with one of my Friends because he wanted me to finish high school.   I did exactly what he told me to do by earning my High School Diploma for him and myself.  My friend passed away on March 21, 2016.  His name was Eric Hill.  I told his family members that if it wasn't for him, and God, I couldn't do nothing.  Thank You Eric Hill , and God, & Jesus Christ for my Success Today.   Thank you for reading my essay today 🙏.

Yesterday's Courtroom Verdict

My Personal Viewpoints Regarding the Courtroom Verdict!   Good Day Everyone!!  How are all of you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform all of you that I am in complete shock regarding yesterday’s Court Verdict.  There are times when a person has to weigh their options and decisions.  I know that if I were the Former President, I would have plead guilty to a lesser charge.   Even though the evidence was too strong on him, however, he has a right to appeal the sentenced.  I want to inform all of you that everyone has a right to a total of 6 appeals throughout the process.  Frankly, a person cannot get away from God.    I know that God is watching all of us.  God only want His Children to listen and obey Him.  Proverbs 15:3 says: The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.    According to Isaiah 59:2 specifically states that our sins have separated us from God.  The...
