<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Deacon Ray, post: 2670229, member: 81896&quot;]<b>A box of ancient coins helped save my life.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Nine years ago my life was a shambles due to my addiction to drugs. I was at the crossroads of existence. I didn’t want to face another day of the stranglehold that drugs had on me and the damage that they had caused in the lives of everyone who was close to me. Addiction cost me the love of my wife and the respect of all who had once cared about me.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the end of this time I remember seeing an advertisement in the back of an archeology magazine for a collection of authentic coins from the Holy Land. In my crazy drug addicted mind I began to think that I’d be cured of my ills by owning a collection of relics that had been touched by Christ. I ordered the set from the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom.</p><p><br /></p><p>I recall receiving the coins and sitting at my desk staring at them. I can remember carrying them under my arm and stumbling out of the house and to a nearby church where I found the pastor and told him that I was self destructing. I told him that I needed help getting and staying clean. He prayed with me and hooked me up with a doctor and a pastoral counselor who specialized in drug and alcohol addiction. Also with a recovery group. Anyway—I’m clean thanks to the Almighty’s love, the love and support of my recovery group, and the effect that the Judaean coins had on me. I’m coming up on my 9 years clean date. I keep that box of ancient coins close to me because they are a symbol of the beginning of my new and rewarding life.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve since become an Ordained Deacon of the Church and a certified Drug Addiction Counselor. My collections have grown considerably over the years. I have a keeper collection and a give away collection. I enjoy giving the ancient Judaean coins to the folks I’m trying to help. The coins have a “Miraculous” effect on people of Faith.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I can say with certainty that a box of ancient coins helped save my life.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]594383[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
