A huge MERCI BEAUCOUP to the anonymous comment who told me that Rev Gerry Matthews died during a full moon on July 19th...:(

I would write more details about this near Saint who would spent hours walking the trails in Fredericton preaching the word of the Lord!!!

MY GOD??? Pastor Gerry wanted to talk to Stephen Harper when he was in New Maryland but Security Staff denied him entry...:(




I am going to let the Videos do the writing..we will never see the likes of Gerry Matthews again.....My deepest Sympathy to his Family and Friends....we have just lost a Great one...if he's not in Heaven with his beautiful wife? None of us will ever reach the peaceful skies......:(

  1. God made mosquitoes for the same reason he made you. Apparently he thought the world needed a useless non contributing pest that sucks the life out of those around him.
