  Speaker 1: Usually I'm out in the forest. This morning I'm in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the studio overlooking this beautiful forest. Jim Baker has been
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: called back to heaven. I often wonder if I even
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: would have known who and what a Jim Baker was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: if I hadn't been a transplant to Charlotte, North Carolina.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: We knew of the headlines that he and Tammy made
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: when the walls came crumbling down. But did the rest
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of the nation and people around the world see the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: man who made the decisions to serve God in the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: department of leaning in on people who needed a brighter
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: area of spiritual connection and personal growth? Now, this does
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: not make Jim and everything that he did all right.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Jim proves in the Bible that we all sin and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: only those who haven't can throw a stone. This God
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: thing that I do is nothing new, mainly because I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: did have Jim Baker as someone to keep me in
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: touch with God's presence and purpose. I was never mad
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: about the PTL experience. In fact, we kept studying at
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: PTL and we kept going to PTL to enjoy the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: visions that he and Tammy put into play. Then he
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: got caught with something that became very public and millions
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and millions of people couldn't forgive him. But in my heart,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I knew that God did. Sure, I'm saddened by the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: loss and the transition of Jim Baker. I was instantly
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: shot back to those days in the 1980s when I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: personally was running away. I was staying away from a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: wife that was a helpless mess with so much sin
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and bad decisions. And I turned to PTL for God
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: because Jim and Tammy were always there when I would
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: turn on the TV. I always believed it would feed
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: into Sandy's heart in the way of changing her path
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and choices with other reasons of there being actions that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I could not create whatsoever. We all paid the price.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I needed God. I was carving up my arms, cutting
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: into what He gave me at birth. And Jim and Tammy,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: they spoke of peace, love, and togetherness. But I didn't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: run from the fire when they suddenly found themselves in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a world of laws being broken. which I couldn't do
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: anything about. Yet I knew one thing. If this path
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: was going to be broken, we needed to work together
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to help heal the journey. And I always believed, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this could be the radio conceit in me, I always
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: believed that God would one day give me a chance
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to thank both of them. And I didn't get it
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: until the day that I arrive in heaven. I'm Errol,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and this is a very special edition of Vocal Defrag.
