AUGUSTUS PETER CARR

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

When you give up and stop dead in your tracks, it's easy for The ENEMY to pick you off! Learn how to become a MOVING TARGET. It's harder to hit a moving target. DON'T STOP!

I have never met him, It all happened just from listening to his projects. Todd has a LOT of soul, and can sing his butt off! There are certain Todd Rundgren recordings that have and will follow me all of my life. I draw on them for strength and inspiration when GOOD or BAD things happen to me.
