HI !!! We are getting ready to go to Arizona again , it is going to be awesome, I love it out west.
I thought I would squeeze one more event in before we are gone for a week again.
The next event that I can remember at this time happened around 2001 or so. I use to have an franchise with Domino's pizza for 23 years, that I since have retired from. During that time ,I acquired a mobile pizza unit and would travel around in this region and set up at gas stations and such to sell freshly made pizza's, one of those towns was in Rock Port MO.
On one of my trips up to Rock Port I took a friend to help me inside the trailer, he is a good friend and we did a lot of hunting together previously and had a lot of neat experiences. He said I was the luckiest guy he had ever met , I would always respond it is not luck it is the Lords hand helping me!
Well on this trip as we were heading up to Rock Port thru Burlington Junc. And just west of the town are bridges that go over the river there, and as we crossed the bridge a tire blew out on the mobile unit. This was a big deal because even tho it is a dual axel trailer it weighs 20,000 pounds!!! and the trip is very hilly and curvy,so we could not continue without fixing the tire, and of course I did not have a spare!!
We turned around in the driveway of a farmstead located just west of the bridge on the right side, after we got turned around, my friend said what are we going to do? I calmly looked at him and said , you know that voice that I say speaks to me sometimes and he started chuckling and said skeptically yeah, Well that voice is telling me our answer is in Burlington. He said whaaat!! Dave there is not a gas station or tire store in that town your out of your mind if you think we will find the size of tire you need !! I responded "you have to have faith" as we started to get closer to town . I don't know why ,but the spirit was really strong with me at that moment and as we got to the outskirts of town, I turned to my friend and pointed there! is were we will get help and our tire ! I was pointing at the co-op grain elevator business, my friend started laughing hard and said Dave that is a grain elevator they don't sell tires or change tires you dummy!!!, I told him very matter of fact that the spirit was saying this was the spot, so I turned in to the parking lot and we got out and went inside the main office. Standing behind the counter was the manager and standing over by the window was an old fella. I asked the manager if he had any tires for sale and he started laughing , he said this is a grain elevator , at that time the old timer said what do you need? I told him we needed a tire fixed on our trailer , he ask what size tire do you need , I told him the size and he said I think I can help you boy's!!! I looked at my friend and smiled he dropped his head and shook it, out of disbelieve.
We followed the farmer to his homestead and it was the same one we turned around in!!!He took us to his machine shed and opened the doors and their sat a tire changing machine!!!He walked over to the wall and there sat two tractor tires and two smaller tires , while he was looking at the size of the tires ,he asked again their size I told him again and he said that is the strangest thing these tires are exactly the size you need! I responded by saying that doesn't surprise me at all!!!!! I looked at my friend and he was dumbfounded with how this was developing. The old timer said funny thing about these tires is that I told my friend that I would take care of their daughter while she was in college at NWMSU and I just changed her tires last week , I was going to toss them ,but something told me to hang on to them. I thought to myself yeah the spirit told you! he knew I was going to be in need!
Well we got back on the road lickty split ,the total amount of time lost was only 30 minutes!! I looked at my friend who was in shock and I said what did I teach you today. He said what I've learned is that your freaking weird!!! I did my best to teach of GOD"S hand in these events and that you just have to listen to the spirit ,he is always there to help you, yes I believe that, the gut feeling you get is the Savior trying to help you , listen to those prompting's and know that GOD exist. GOD BLESS and LOVE ALWAYS

Why Am I Writing This Blog
Hi! Everyone thank you for visiting my blog, I hope it is inspiring and helps with your own spiritual journey.
I have thought that some my not understand why I am sharing spiritual accounts that are very personal and profound.
Before I can explain were I am today in my journey with the Lord, and for you to understand the most recent events in my life, and why they are so important to the gathering of Zion, One needs to know my whole history to completely understand the teachings and principles of our Savior that he has shared with me and how they connect with the calling he has given to me at this time.
All of my spiritual experiences have been to prepare me for these days we are in, and laying the foundation to a Zion he can return to, the big work of gathering Zion has begun.
And so I ask you to be patient and to know a great work has begun in these latter days, this blog is to help you come to Christ and to discover what your calling is from the Lord in helping in this cause.
I know that many Christians today, by inspiration have begun working together in a different way within our communities and as a country , you see many movements today that give witness to this fact. I see it right here in Maryville at the Christian gathering happening at the Bridge, the Lord wants us to put our differences in religion, behind us. and focus on what we have in common, faith in HIM The Savior Jesus Christ and begin learning how to live. Hopefully we can achieve a place of Zion in the near future, as he begins to gather those that he has or is preparing. GOD BLESS

Loree and Fred Sr. come to visit in a dream
Hi! Well it has been a few weeks since I wrote last ,we got a lot going on in our family right now, Em is out on the trail in Arizona , Jackson and I are remodeling a building to open a burger shop, Mom is currently in Illinois for a funeral!! boy it is none stop.
During the next several years there were many daily miracles with the Lord , and I did receive messages such as ' kneel before me' I am sure this has to do with my pride!! The Lord also said 'Babylon will fall' at that time it was the late 1990's. Les lost her Dad in 1997 and her grandmother , her Dad's mother in the same year.
I received a profound message from Les's deceased grandmother Loree Jackson one night, she and her husband came to me in a dream. Loree had a message for me to give to someone that was still living I assumed , because she told me to 'Tell my house maid that when she dies everything will be O.K.' Grandpa had another message , but that one is not important at this time and does not have to do with this miracle . So I told Les what happened that morning, and I asked her if grandma ever had a house maid? Les said she had never heard of her having one . but she said if anyone knows my Mom would . So I called Kathy and ask her if she knew if Loree ever had a house maid , since she had known her since the 50's, when asked, Kathy responded no Loree had never talked about a house maid ever!! Since I didn't get any confirmation , I eventually forgot about the event, and then all that changed!!!
A couple years later, Les decided to run in a marathon with the luekemia society and raise funds in honor of her father , it was the type of cancer he died of in 1997. I believe the year was 1999 or 2000, I can't remember and Les is not here today to ask, anyway she began to raise money for the run , you have to raise a lot of money for those type's of events! and we did everything from garage sales to writing articles about her run. We had many contact us that knew her Dad from the area and make contributions. And then we got a letter in the mail from Icile Young from Ravenwood MO., we had never met her and was curious who she was and how she knew her father, We began to read her letter and she began the letter with these exact words,'You do not know me but I was a house maid for your grandma Loree , and I took care of Freddie your father when he was a baby to help Loree out!!!!! when the kids were born. I about fell over, there she was! the person the message was meant for!!!, so I called Icile and gave her the message , she probably thought I was crazy!!. She was very old in her late 80's or 90's, I could not believe she was still alive. The Lord gives us many gifts the greatest is when your testimony of his existence is strengthened by his very hand showing you he is alive and that it is all real!!!There is a difference in believing and knowing and it comes in handy when your faced with deception, concerning the things of GOD and the precepts of men, I ask all of my friends to come to him in great prayer! begin to live your lives with a heart of peace towards all men and he will show himself to you, and begin to give you great gifts of knowledge. Start your journey with him today!! GOD BLESS, LOVE ALWAYS

I meet my wife at KNIM and our son arrives
After coming to Maryville my next really cool experience with the Spirit came within the first couple of months. I had just bought the store and the local radio owner contacted me about advertizing on KNIM, he invited me up to the station to check things out and discuss business arrangements ect. While I was there he introduced me to LES !!! my future wife. After we met she knew right away that we would be married , it took me a little longer to figure things out, us guys are not always the brightest bunch!! Anyway I was focus on my new business and began to get to know Les thru the radio station, she did my ads and offered a radio package deal that gave her the opportunity to work with me personally!! We got to know each other over the next 3 months or so and i finally took her up on an invitation for a BBQ cook out, everything went great. les at that time smoked and drank beer pretty heavily and the smoking was not attractive to me at all, I was sitting on the sofa at her house and she had smoked a lot of cigaretts there were tons of smoke in the air, and all of a sudden the Spirit spoke to me clear as day, and said this is your wife!! I thought to myself and said to the Spirit really!? and the Spirit said yes this is your wife. I have always listen to the Lord and his Spirit and I thought I better get to know this girl better and so we started dating and look at us now we just celebrated our anniversary Oct. 3 married 23 years!!!
Over the next couple of years we had many small miracles , but the best was when Les became pregnant with are son Jackson. We had a heck of a time conceiving children our fist couple of years, we had gone thru all the testing and just could not find anything wrong. So we began looking at adoption, and Les did a lot of praying, me not so much until finally one day I prayed mightily to the Lord and said I think I would be a good father , but whatever your will is ,so it must be. I finally put it in his hands. Shortly afterwards, Les was getting ready to go in for testing on her eggs and it would be an invasive surgery and so they had to check her temperature to make sure she didnt have any infections , when they tested her temperature she had a fever!!! We were disappointed that we went all the way to KC for nothing and we were just tired of all the testing, so we rescheduled the appointment for a few days later. I came home from work a night or two later and Les was waiting for me in the driveway , when I got out of the car she started screaming I am pregnant!!! I stayed calm and did not believe her, I thought she was being crazy . so I calmly began to ask questions and to my surprise she was!!!!! If she would not have had that fever, our son would have been accidently aborted, it was a true miracle and protection from the LORD!!!!

How I came to Maryville!!!
The Lord says ,I need to move along in my blog so I can correct my behavior on face book, it sucks getting in trouble with the Lord , but he is patient!!! So here goes my next account and experience with my journey with the Lord.
After my sealing by the Lord in my grandfathers event. visits , dreams and being spoken too began to happen on a regular basis when I say regular , it was like every 6 months or so. My next major event with the Lord occured a few months later when i was looking for a store to buy and franchise with domino's pizza. I had a list of particulars that I was using to evaluate each store for sale. I wanted to stay in Illinois, since that is were my family is from and I was working with the regional office in Chicago to help me find a store. I had looked for 3 months or so and could not find anything. here is a list of what I was looking for in a store 1) weekly sales of 10,000 or more 2)A town with a college or military base for obvious reasons 3) Manufacturing business for good paying jobs 4) Count seat for govt. paying jobs 5) Population of at least 10,000, but not more than 20,000 6) A strong agriculture community, because I am a country boy at heart!!
One day while seating in my office of the store I was managing, before we opened for business that day and before the first employee showed up for work. A voice just as clear as anyone you talked with today, said David! call the Minneapolis regional office. Well I sat there for a moment and was in shock, but I did what I was told and called that office right away!
After reaching the regional director for the Midwest, which included the state of Missouri. I told him I was looking for an existing store to buy and that it needed to fit my criteria list, I told him my list and he said that is the strangest thing!! I just got off the phone not 30 minutes ago with a franchisee that listed his store for sale in Maryville MO. He said that it met every thing on my list and I was the first one to know about it!!!
I have always given witness that the Lord gave me this store as a gift, he brought me to Missouri. This is very profound spiritually for another reason I will share later.
I testify that if you are willing to listen and act in faith when inspired or in this case spoken to the Lord will bless you more than you can ever imagine. While I owned the Maryville store we set 2 world records within the Domino's Pizza corporation 1) We sold 1,158 pizzas in one hour 2) We had sales of over 45,000 in one week averaging over 7.00 per address.
We could have never had done this in this little town if we were not blessed by the Lord in amazing ways and without the amazing customers in the town of Maryville they were the biggest blessing to our family , I want to say thank you to all of you that supported us in those years!! What a great town and blessing from the Lord. GOB BLESS and LOVE ALWAYS
