Trail to Peace

I sat in stone silence looking at the white man sitting a few feet away from me. My heart was cold toward him, and I assumed he felt the same about me.
This man called Sonny Jaynes had taken me into his home to help me overcome my alcohol addiction — the relentless killer of Native Americans.

My spirit was desperate for Jesus. He was calling me, but I was to busy being desperate for the wrong things to hear his voice.
