I live in Pella, Iowa. Pella is a Dutch town with a very interesting history. Pella has a big Tulip Festival every year in May. I am a fork truck mechanic, and I work second shift. Even though I am only a layman and have no formal ministry, I feel God has called me to be a witness in the factory where I work.
People expect a pastor to be different.
They don t expect a night shift fork truck mechanic to be a Christian. I get to witness to people whowould never darken the door of a church. By the mercy of God and a little medication, I am just fine now, but I have had many opportunities to help and encourageothers who struggle with this common, but much misunderstood, ailment. One good thing that came out of my depression was that I was finally able to let go of an area in my life that I was never able to do before and aftermany years of struggling, I was sanctified holy. I have my own darkroom.
