August 8, 2002: Auntie Pat called and was going to visit, but did not remember the address. Will try again tomorrow. I talked to her about the strange things that happened in the past two or so years. Went to holy land, visited Nigeria with a strong urge, cleaned up the house, but I asked God to give me a new lease on life and I claim it in the name of Jesus.
