>Hey Rick,
>How you doing? Just got back on myself. Have been reading your e-mails >though. >God Bless >Sid I'll answer this before heading off to bed. It is now 10:21 pm EST as I
start this. I am a slow typist.
As of right now, my back is very sore. This morning it gave out
for no reason. My wife took me to the Chiropractor. Mike has never seen me
this bad in long while. I am leaning to the left.
Other than that, still pressing on in Jesus. As of now, it has been over 6
years in fighting for worker's compensation. Still have not been
paid. But now in the settlement offer. My lawyer is trying to get
the best offer. So far they want to give peanuts and write off medical
coverage.
My business this year has gone beyond my wildest dreams. During the
Winter months, God brought in 2/3 amount of work of last year in a couple of
months. All of it 18th century military uniforms. God brought in a
historian into my life. By way of long distance phone calls and
documentation. I made my first lottery coat(1778). I need to make one more
a FCF member in Penn..
God used that coat to bring my skill to a level of excellent. He
placed in my heart. That He has given me enough tools( resource books,
patterns, documentation) and His Spirit to create museum quality work. I
now sew the outside raw edges of regimentals and waistcoats by hand. With
out God, I would not be able to go anywhere.
I still fight an illness(multiple chemical sensitive) that effects my motor
skills. God has given me his grace to go through it. I would not
trade these 6 years for anything else.
God has drawn my wife and I together. Last Thursday we were
married for 27 years. It has been hard these 6 years. She nor I would not
trade for someone else. We have been there for each other.
Yes, I miss FCF and Royal Rangers. But ministry will never
trade for a deeper relationship with God and my wife. I'll never no why I
have not been healed in body. So I can be around people that enjoy reaching boys
for Christ. But bug spray, nylon and plastic tents, and the list goes on makes
me sick. But my heart has been.
I'll never no why God blessed me to be a cmdr.. Allowed me to take NTC and
FCF to Wilderness. But it not to reason why. But to follow Jesus to where
he takes me.
I have been going to a support group for 5 years. Most of the people
there do not know Christ. Many of a times I did not want to go. I thought
what I said fell on death ears. Until one day, a councilor retired. At her
party, she took me aside. She told me I am a light in a dark place. This woman
came from Japan and grew up in a Buddhist home.
I believe God wanted me to hear that. So I would not give up on these
people. I need to remember that I am not the Holy Spirit. I am just a seed
planter.
Good night and God Bless you all,
Richard H. Baldwin 220 Orlando Ave; Syracuse, NY 13205 315/492-2370 Eagle Feather's 18th Century Clothing Shoppe http://www.eaglefeatherclothing.com p.s. Check out the attached file of my latest work. The guy wearing

God has brought in many customers that are Christians. All of them have
told me that they are praying for my wife and I. I also thank all of you for
your prayers.
It is now 11 pm and time to send this and off to
