I was like Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail going happily, happily on my merry way, traveling with True Father on the fifty-state, We Will Stand Tour. My job was to speak before Father, sort of warm the audience up. I think I did a pretty good job.
I think we were in Dallas Texas and after the program was over, I was in my hotel room and I got a call that Father wanted me to come to his suite. When I went up there, he came into the conference area and said to me, “You know you are going along with me on this tour for the restoration of families and the building of marriages and all, but you’re not married.” Ths was because my wife and I were divorced. She divorced me after twenty-five years of marriage. So, he said, “I would like to match you. And we have chosen several one’s for you to choose from.” Normally, Father just chooses someone, but he gave me the royal opportunity to choose someone. But I told him, No. I will not choose a bride because I was still married to my children’s mother. We had seven children and I told him that I meant it when I said, “Until death do us part” and she’s not dead.
That was shocker, because nobody refuses Father Moon. He put his head down. He did turn red. Everybody thought I had angered him but actually, the spirit of prophecy had overcome him because when he raised up he said, “It will happen soon.” I thought, he’s not a true man of God because I didn’t tell him that she had remarried and was living in another state and we had no communication. But one week later, she walked in our church while I was preaching. After services were over, I went downstairs and there all of her luggage was in my office. I said, “What is going on?” She said, “It just didn’t work out and I’m back.”
We’ve been living in the Land of Happily Ever After ever since. And that’s because of True Father’s prediction. Amen!
