A Story of My Life: What a Wonderful 83+ Years of Life

By Don Felisky

It took me over two years, and I completed the story of my lifeover two hundred sixty pages of it.

I hope that my story can help you achieve goals that you believe are impossible to achieve without higher education. I tell you to turn from the world and sin; turn to our Father through Jesus, and you will achieve the goals that you fear you cannot achieve but desire dearly to achieve. I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me (Philippians 4:13).

ONE

SMALL

GRAIN

OF

SAND

I’M BUT ONLY ONE GRAIN OF SAND

As I was in prayer and was having meditation with my FATHER GOD AND THE ONLY BEGOTTEN BELOVED SON WHOM OUR FATHER GOD IS WELL PLEASE. JESUS CHRIST.

You know FATHER, since the beginning you have created billions of your children. There are so many as the stars in the heavens and as the sands of the sea. and YOU love each and everyone individually, YOU do not want not one to perish, but that each and everyone to have everlasting life, with YOU and JESUS and the HOLY SPIRIT AND ALL THOSE THAT HAVE REPENTED.. FATHER, I am just one kernel of sand, Yet you created me, an individual one of all billions& billions of individuals, There is not one of the billions and billions of individuals that are the exact same. Not only that FATHER, YOU can know every thought and prayer at the same time and answer them individually. WOW!!! I am now 82 years of age. and I want others to know how you were with me every day of my life. From birth to the present, and forever.

I am but a grain of sand on the shore of this great sea of humanity. I am 82 years of age. Looking back in memory, I realize that I had a lot of life experiences of LIFE & THREAT OF DEATH, AND FAILURE & SUCCESS.

I would like to share them with you and with my beloved family, Sara, my wife, my daughters martha and donna, my grandchildren, Laura, Sam, and Tara

I was born twin, March 5, 1931 to George and Anna Felisky. I survive birth, but my brother David did not. He died two weeks after birth. We were a very poor family. My Father worked for the Buick Motor Division, GM. His income wasn’t enough to take care of a wife, 9 kids (3-girls and 6-boys) and our Grandmother who was ridden and could not walk. Wow! without the help of welfare we would have starve. There were many days that all we to eat was homemade bread dunk in coffee. I can remember when I was 2 years old. I was standing in front of screen door looking outside. It was so freighting dark, very windy, lighting and thunder, large objects were flying everywhere. I remember I was very scare and crying. My mother took me away from the doorway. Later on in life I was talking with my older brother George while we were fishing in Canada George told me that the windy storm was a very bad tornado and it had just missed our house. He said I was a 2 year old baby then. when that happen. I would later asked myself. Why did I survived and David died? Why did the Tornado miss our home?

(As you read on, you will see that GOD answered all my prayers & Questions later in this book.

AT 8-YEARS OLD I WAS CHALLANCED TO CLIMB A 75-FOOT TOWER

From the very beginning of life, I was a longer. I can remember that I just loved to play in the sand box at the side of our house. I loved to make sand houses and tunnels I even buried my leg in sand up to my waist. I was about 4 years old and I was horrified and cried out and my aunt susie would come to my rescured. As I grew, I would love to adventure into the unknown. We lived about 2 blocks from the Flint river and there was a wooded area with a old rusty tower in the mist of it. I would clime the trees (about 10-12 feet high) and even jump from one tree to another. I made a bow and arrow using a tree branch and shoe laces and for arrows I used some thick long weeds. I was about 7 or 8 years old at this time. One day as I was taken a break leaning back under a shade tree watching my friends swinging on the old towel. I said to myself I wonder if I could make it to the top. no one every did, because it was to dangerous. It was about 75 feet high. If you would fall you would be killed. I said a prayer, and I said. Dear JESUS, I would like to try and make it to the top and come back down using the attach ladder.. No one has every done that before. My friends said don’t do what we think your going to do. climb to the top of the tower, I said that I am going to try to reach the top and come back down. As I ascended I would looked strait ahead, I would not look down or up, just strait ahead. At the top was an A shape cross beam which extended about 4 feet. I looked at the extension and I said to myself and to my Lord, If I stand up on the edge then I really would be at the very top of the tower, So I stood up on the top beam and walked to the very edge and I waved my arms to my friends. I turned around and dissented down the ladder to safety I went to the top and down without ever looking down or up. My friends cheered me. I was the hero of the day.

At 8 or 9 years of age, two of my friends were playing in the alley behind the stores on St John’s street. Mr. Joseph has a 3 story clothing store business. There was a fire escape at the back of the building. It ran up to about 3 or 4 feet from the roof top. So we climb up the fire escape to the top. but we had to climb up over the 3 feet edge without any fire escape ladder, to get on top of the building. We got unto the roof top. We were waving and yelling at passersby. A police officer blew his whistle and yelled for us to get drown from the roof top. Boy are we in trouble now. We left to dissent down the ladder, but our feet could not reach the top of the ladder, If we try to drop to the top of the ladder we would have missed and would have fallen to our deaths or we would be badly injured. Our parents and a crowd of people gather and the police officer climb the ladder and brought us down to safety and a well earned spanking.

VERY CLOSE TO BEING HIT BY TRAIN

As kids we would all go swimming at Sandy Bottom in the Flint River next to a railroad trestle bridge. We would jump or dive off the bridge. One day I was in the middle of the bridge dropping stones into the river. I was there by myself and was concentrating on dropping stones that I had no thought of what was going on around me. when all of a sudden, I was made to look up. There coming was a train, I leaped up and ran as fast as I could and jumped out of the way of the train. It just missed me. The conductor or the train could not see me. otherwise he would have blew the whistle or stopped. What or Who made me look up? OUR FATHER or the guardian Angel HE had watching over me. Thank you FATHER and BLESS YOU, That happened more then seventy years ago. I’m Eighty Two years of age, Without you FATHER, I would never have made it to the present.

AT 7 YEARS OLD I MADE MY OWN SKIS FROM A OLD BARREL BOARDS.

Image%208.jpg

MY FIRST DOWN HILL SKI RUN, IT WAS A DISASTER

Image%207.jpg

WINTER OF 1938

I was 7 years old and it was a Saturday, noon When my mother give us 15 cents each to go to the movies. That day the movie was about SKI PATROL WOW! I am going to joint the ski patrol when I grow up. Sunday morning I went down the basement looking around for something to do or make. I saw an old wooden barrel in the corner of the basement. I thought and said to myself; I wonder if I could make ski’s out of those barrel slats.? Yes, I believe I can. So I spend a couple of hours and attached two ropes as straps and I took a candle and waxed down both ski’s real good.. I was by myself and set out to the hill next to the bridge that cross the flint river. The lieth Street Bridge. It was about 30 to 40 feet to the bottom of the hill. I looked at the bottom and I started to fear the out come. I said Dear LORD, if I am going to be in the Ski Patrol when I grow up., I have to know how to ski.

So HERE GOES — Zoom! down the hill I went, I had no control, I was flying down that hill, when I hit bottom, I flipped up in the air, and came crashing down on a large rock and smashed my right shoulder, I could not breadth or catch my breath. I got to my feet, and I got my breadth and made it back home. My Mother asked me if I was OK. I said I’m OK, just hurt my shoulder a little. She rubbed some lineament on my shoulder and I had a cup of hot coffee and a large slice of buttered home made bread and went to bed tucked under a warm Featherstitch bed spread. (A large blanket stuff about 8 inches of fine Goose feathers.) I healed up well and decided not to learn how to ski with homemade barrel skis.

One day in 1939, I was 8 years old, my friend Mike and I were thinking, why don’t we raise rabbits, Of course we had no money and no way of getting any to buy a pair of rabbits. Mike said that there was a house down by the Flint river that had a big ben of rabbits, So at night we went down to the house. We sneaked up to the rabbit ben, I was filling very guilty, So I said y dear LORD, I want a rabbit so bad, please don’t let us get caught stealing the rabbits, (Can you imagine that I was praying that I would not get caught stealing?) Just at that moment the door of the house flew open and the owner yelled out What are you boys doing at the rabbit pen.!? That ended that adventure real quick. We ran off as fast as our legs could take us. I got home and that night before I went to bed I said my prayers,. I said Please Dear LORD forgive me for asking you to prevent me from being caught stealing those rabbits. You know it was not much later I got a job paddling newspapers for the Flint News Advertiser. and I could buy rabbits and other animals.

Image%2010.jpg

It wasn’t very long after, that I had developed a small animal farm. I raise Rabbits, Chickens, Ducks Differ kinds of Pigeons. I would spend just about every day for hours, watching the behavior of the animals, how they bred11 and how they would raise their babies. Believe me I learned more from studying them, then any school could teach me. Like when a chicken would lay a egg. she would get up and dance around her nest and crow like crazy. Then when I would have her and the baby chicks go freely around the backyard. she would teach them how and what to eat. What was very interesting to watch was when any danger would come about, (like a cat) She would signal to the chicks and they would run and hid under her wings. To watch the tumbler pigeons as they would fly together the two of them to about seventy five feet or so. Then they would tumble down and zoom over my head. WOW! what a wonderful sight that was.

WHEN I WAS ABOUT SIX YEARS, I HAD THIS DREAM

Image%2011.jpg

THE BEGINNING

OF

MY

DREAM

THEN I

COULD SEE THE

TOTAL SPEAR,

BUT IT BEGIN TO

TURN

THEN THE SPEAR

WOULD SPIN FASTER

AND FASTER, THE

SURFACE WOULD

BEGIN TO SHRED

THAT’S WHEN I WOULD WAKE UP WITH A SCREAM! MY MOTHER WOULD ASKED WHAT’S THE MATTER? I COULD ONLY SAY THAT IT’S THIS BIG ORANGE BALL. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER I HAD THIS SAME IDENTICAL DREAM AND WOKE UP SICK AND SCARED. NOW THAT I AM 82 YEARS. I FINALLY KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DREAM DOCTOR MURRAY, OF THE SHEPHERD’S CHAPEL. A GREAT BIBLE SCHOLAR WITH 50 YEARS OF STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD. CHAPTER BY CHAPTER, VERSE BY VERSE. THERE ARE THREE EARTH AGES. WE ALL WERE CREATED HEAVENLY BEINGS OF THE FIRST AGE BY GOD. SATAN AND ONE THIRD OF THE HEAVENLY BEINGS WERE CAST INTO CHAINS BY GOD’S ANGELS. THE TWO THIRDS OF THE GOOD HEAVENLY BEINGS WERE BORN OF WOMEN (WATER) AND THAT IS THE PRESENT 2ND WORLD AGE. I HAD PERSONALLY EYE WITNESSED THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD OF THE FIRST AGE.. IT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURES THAT OUR ASTRONAUTS HAD TAKEN FROM A SPACECRAFT IN OUTER SPACE..IN ALL MY 82 YEARS I NEVER HAD A DREAM LIKE THAT. IT WAS REALITY (BY THE WAY THE COLOR ORANGE WAS THE ORANGE COLOR OF THE PICTURE OF MARS THAT I HAD JUST SEEN THE OTHER DAY OF THE MARS LANDING

DONALD E. FELISKY

QUESTION..????

(1) IF THE EARTH WOULD BEGIN TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER TO A VERY HIGH SPEED, WOULD THE SURFACE BEGIN TO CREATE A GREAT HEAT THAT WOULD MELT THE SURFACE AND TO SHRED THE SURFACE. AND THUS MAKING IT VOID.

(2) WOULD THE HEAT CAUSE THE DINOSAURS AND FISH BE KILLED AND IMBEDDED

IN THE MUD WHICH CAN BE FOSSILIZED IN STONE AS WE FIND THEM TODAY.?

IF THE ANSWER IS YES, THEN I AM CONVINCED THAT WHAT I HAD DREAMED WAS NOT A DREAM, BUT A REMEMBRANCE OF I BEING A WITNESS OF REALITY.

JAN. 13, 2015

Today I was watching a Documentation by National Geographic, of the birth of the Earth. The earth is over 2-Billon years old. I learned from the documentation the answers to the Questions above.

(1) the Earth did at one time spin at a very high volume and shredded the surface.

(2) That the continents were al together as one at the south end of the earth. and they had divided as we see them today.

I also seen a documentation years ago. that a Very large asteroid hit the Earth and Tilled it that the earth is off axis, and that the shredded of the earth flew off the spinning Earth and that the Moon was created.

*************************************

DO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. OUR CREATOR AND

FATHER, (THE HOLY BIBLE)

FOR EVERY QUESTION YOU HAVE AND WILL HAVE.?

THERE IS A VERY SIMPLE AND TRUE ANSWER.

"CHRISTIANALITY IS NOT A RELIGION BUT IS

REALITY
