0:00:08 > 0:00:13Here you have a wonderful city that exudes Christianity.

0:00:14 > 0:00:19You're walking over thousands of years of history.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21And it's all around you,

0:00:21 > 0:00:25in your cathedrals and churches around the Mall.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29And obviously, the legacy of St Patrick.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35I think, to be fair to Armagh,

0:00:35 > 0:00:38people do their very best to get on.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41They do their very best to be a community,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43to look out for one another.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49I think that is an expression of Christian concern

0:00:49 > 0:00:50and Christian love.

0:00:52 > 0:00:57So, I think it has a tremendous opportunity, Armagh,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59as a beacon of light.

0:01:05 > 0:01:12SACRED MUSIC

0:01:43 > 0:01:46We are standing here on the historic Mall.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49As you look around, you see the different traditions.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Here, you have the dominance of the spires

0:01:53 > 0:01:55of the Roman Catholic cathedral

0:01:55 > 0:01:57and they're majestically reaching to the skies.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Here you have the tall spire of the Presbyterian Church.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Beside it, The Mall Presbyterian Church.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05The Brethren Church over there.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08On this side of the Mall, you have St Mark's.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12Of course, tucked up around the hill,

0:02:12 > 0:02:14in the shadow, almost, of the cathedral,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17is the little Methodist church to which I belong.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Then you ask yourself the question,

0:02:21 > 0:02:29here are all of these architectural witnesses to the gospel.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33The people who built them wanted to make a statement,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36a statement of faith, this is what we believe in.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Look at us, this is what we believe in.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42This is about faith, this is about a message of love and reconciliation.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45This is about a message of, there's more to life

0:02:45 > 0:02:49than just living here, there is a hereafter after the here.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51But then you look at this Mall

0:02:51 > 0:02:54and you look up at that end of the Mall up there and what have you got?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56The jail.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00At this end of the Mall, you have the courthouse.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05You go in there for your sins, and you go up there for your punishment.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08But surrounded by these churches, we are saying, hold on,

0:03:08 > 0:03:12it doesn't have to be like that. There's forgiveness around.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18It's a message that says, there's another way of doing things.

0:03:18 > 0:03:24The churches are all exclaiming that loudly and saying, come, follow me.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26We have a better way of doing things.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Being a Christian isn't easy

0:03:45 > 0:03:48and if anybody thinks Christianity is for wimps,

0:03:48 > 0:03:52I'd say they're in for a shock, because what Christianity will do,

0:03:52 > 0:03:57what the Lord will do, He'll make you be a man.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00What I mean by that is, He will make you be accountable.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04He will make you stand up and you have to be transparent.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05You can't live a double life.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11I worked for the weekends and I loved going out at the weekends.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I loved socialising, I loved the craic,

0:04:14 > 0:04:18I loved the banter and drink was a big area of that.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Every Sunday, my wage packet would have been gone

0:04:22 > 0:04:27and I would have begrudged giving my mother £20 for housekeeping.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31But that was my life, there was just drinking, partying.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35When Monday came, you put your head down and worked until Friday came.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Pretty sad really, but that was it.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41I had fought the voice of God for a long time.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43I knew that I needed to be saved,

0:04:43 > 0:04:45I knew there was an emptiness within me.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49Even though I probably would have been seen as being like most people,

0:04:49 > 0:04:53happy-go-easy and enjoying the craic but inwardly, there was a void.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02I was constantly just twisting with drink in me.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05There was this one point and it brought it to a low.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07We were in a bar on Boxing Day.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10There was a fight that had broken out between myself

0:05:10 > 0:05:15and another fella and it was totally my fault, it shouldn't have happened.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20The biggest shock for me that night was my mother's face.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23She was in that bar and my mother looked at me in utter shock,

0:05:23 > 0:05:27utter shame and disbelief that this had just taken place.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34That was probably the biggest wake-up call, that my life was just a mess.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41That was the beginning of the end for me,

0:05:41 > 0:05:43because I had realised, I am sick of this.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47I had come to an all-time low, I'm only 24 years of age

0:05:47 > 0:05:49and I feel I've done everything.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52I just feel my life was spiralling out of control

0:05:52 > 0:05:55but I believe it was the hand of God on my life.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Everything I touched, He made fall.

0:06:12 > 0:06:18I live in my home farm, just outside Keady in a place called Temple.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23I have been living there for 47 years now.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28I have been there since I was born. It is a small family farm.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34Dad was a full-time farmer and he kept cattle, as I do now.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Whenever I would get holidays or weekends,

0:06:38 > 0:06:40I was running about after him.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Good times together, just farming and feeding the cattle

0:06:43 > 0:06:47and all the things that has to be done around the farm.

0:06:47 > 0:06:54We grew up in a happy, loving family farming environment.

0:06:55 > 0:07:02# Echoes of mercy, whispers of love

0:07:02 > 0:07:07# This is my story, this is my song... #

0:07:09 > 0:07:13There's probably a lot of moments where

0:07:13 > 0:07:17I have felt God's presence in an awesome way.

0:07:17 > 0:07:23# This is my story, this is my song... #

0:07:23 > 0:07:25A lot of times,

0:07:25 > 0:07:29you just feeling the tangible presence of God as people gather.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34That's quite biblical, because scripture teaches us

0:07:34 > 0:07:38that where two or three are gathered together, I am there as well.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43In His presence, there is fullness of joy.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50We are doing this ordinance of communion to never forget the price

0:07:50 > 0:07:56that you paid for us to redeem us, to make us free and we thank you, Lord.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Mum and Dad would have been strong Christians.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02I knew that if my dad and mum were ready for heaven

0:08:02 > 0:08:07and if anything happened and I wasn't right with God,

0:08:07 > 0:08:14that I would go down the other way, to a lost eternity without Christ.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19It was just like the Holy Spirit was saying,

0:08:19 > 0:08:21you need to make the decision to follow Christ.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Everyone has their cross to bear and I think that's a tremendous help

0:08:25 > 0:08:30I have had and carried down this past 30 years.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46That's a good dog, come on!

0:08:46 > 0:08:50'When you're working for local government in the public service,

0:08:50 > 0:08:55'you strive to do the best for the people you work for,'

0:08:55 > 0:08:59people who work for you and most of all, for the community you serve

0:08:59 > 0:09:03because that's what public service is all about.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09These are all bits and pieces in Omagh, you wouldn't want that stuff.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I never get a chance to get these all in order.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20That's going into Buckingham Palace.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23MBE.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26Buckingham Palace.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30It was nice to get it

0:09:30 > 0:09:33and nice to think that you were appreciated for your services

0:09:33 > 0:09:35in local government,

0:09:35 > 0:09:39but it isn't the most overriding factor in my life.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44I wouldn't swap my faith for it, let's put it that way!

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Then going back a few years,

0:09:50 > 0:09:55this is the photograph of the former City Hall in Armagh,

0:09:55 > 0:09:58which was bombed in 1972.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01It always sticks in my memory because I came down the stairs

0:10:01 > 0:10:05and saw the two brown cases after we got the alarm.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I suppose it was like jumping Beecher's Brook

0:10:09 > 0:10:12at the Grand National - I cleared them,

0:10:12 > 0:10:14with a gusto, and out through the front door

0:10:14 > 0:10:18and within ten minutes, that is what was left of the building.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30This is with John Major and myself and Jim Nicholson.

0:10:30 > 0:10:37That is the Queen on her visit to Armagh to convey city status.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42The visit of President Clinton and Hillary Clinton meeting Margaret

0:10:42 > 0:10:45and myself on the Mall before he gave that very famous speech,

0:10:45 > 0:10:47the peace speech, in Armagh,

0:10:47 > 0:10:50the speech of the peace process in many ways.

0:10:52 > 0:10:58The idea of service to others, being not selfish for yourself

0:10:58 > 0:11:01but selflessness, I think that is

0:11:01 > 0:11:04what the Christian life is all about.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08You can look at all of these people, they all have power,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11but what is important is how they use the power

0:11:11 > 0:11:14and responsibility that they have.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18That is the Christian ethos, and I think, from my perspective,

0:11:18 > 0:11:20it's critical.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27PREACHER: All that is required for you to be saved

0:11:27 > 0:11:30and experience God's salvation

0:11:30 > 0:11:34is belief or faith in Jesus Christ.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Thank you, God, for our food. Amen.- Praise the Lord!

0:11:47 > 0:11:52This one night, there was a sense that I knew that God was calling,

0:11:52 > 0:11:54that I had to give my life to God.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01The night I was saved, I was sitting in that corner there.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I came back in here at around nine o'clock.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06I came home from the meeting

0:12:06 > 0:12:11and I'd felt I hadn't heard from God, I felt nothing and I felt numb.

0:12:11 > 0:12:16I think I'd fought so much inwardly against God

0:12:16 > 0:12:18because I had heard the gospel message being preached.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I knew that not only did I need to be saved but that God loved me

0:12:21 > 0:12:23and he wanted to save me, he wanted me to turn to him

0:12:23 > 0:12:26and quit trying to do everything myself.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27I had a whole life going on,

0:12:27 > 0:12:29that I knew was going to be shattered.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Everything I stood for, everything I was involved in, everything I did,

0:12:32 > 0:12:34my whole lifestyle, my circle of friends,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37everything we did together was absolutely contrary to what

0:12:37 > 0:12:42God's people would be doing or what you'd be expected to do.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I got to the stage where I realised that

0:12:45 > 0:12:49all these things I think are important, they're not,

0:12:49 > 0:12:51because I'm still sitting here by myself, on my own.

0:12:53 > 0:12:58I do believe it was a test, a test of, if this is what you want,

0:12:58 > 0:13:01this is really what you want to do, you make the move.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03It was a leap of faith,

0:13:03 > 0:13:06it was one of the hardest decisions I've had to make.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09That's when I made the decision that I want to get right with God

0:13:09 > 0:13:15and that's what I did that night from this living room on 28 December 2002.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19That's where it all happened, where it started, anyhow.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39As a small boy growing up, we lived above our shop,

0:13:39 > 0:13:42which was a small garage,

0:13:42 > 0:13:46and sold motor and other types of material and goods.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50We had lots of neighbours and we played together.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56On 12 August, over 60 years ago,

0:13:56 > 0:13:59I was visited by John, who was a great pal of mine.

0:14:00 > 0:14:05I can recall that I wasn't all that well,

0:14:05 > 0:14:07I think I must have been sick with something or other,

0:14:07 > 0:14:10because John came up to see me in the bedroom

0:14:10 > 0:14:16and as small boys do, I suppose we played and chatted.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Then afterwards, when he was leaving,

0:14:20 > 0:14:23there was a most horrific accident

0:14:23 > 0:14:25and John was...

0:14:27 > 0:14:29..killed,

0:14:29 > 0:14:32I suppose there's no other way of putting it,

0:14:32 > 0:14:33by a milk lorry.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35I witnessed the scene.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39It is a scene I have never forgotten or will ever forget.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Or don't want to forget.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06I suppose that was my first experience of death.

0:15:06 > 0:15:11Until then, one didn't have an appreciation, as a child, of death.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20What I learned from that in many senses was obviously,

0:15:20 > 0:15:22you don't live for ever.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Death can come very quickly.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28Even as a child, you can experience it.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31But how painful it can be.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36This was horrendous, obviously, for the family.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41Losing a child, I cannot imagine how you would cope with that.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47But Mrs Sherry did cope with it and what shone through that

0:15:47 > 0:15:51was her faith, which created an impression on me,

0:15:51 > 0:15:52and the faith of that family.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58The dignity, the compassion within the family and the neighbours

0:15:58 > 0:16:02and friends who rallied round.

0:16:02 > 0:16:07As I reflect back on that, it was really Christian care and concern.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10That was my first understanding of that.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59We would have went to Mountain Lodge in the evening time.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02My mum and dad at the start of the '70s would have started

0:17:02 > 0:17:07going there to Mountain Lodge and I would have went with him.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18My dad, after he was there for a number of years,

0:17:18 > 0:17:21he would have become a bit more senior

0:17:21 > 0:17:24and when we went into the main body of the church,

0:17:24 > 0:17:28he would have stayed in the entrance hall just to welcome people

0:17:28 > 0:17:30and then he would have come in and joined us after that.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38I would say we were probably one of the last ones in that evening.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42I think the singing had already started. Then we just filed in.

0:18:05 > 0:18:11That was the old text on the wall. It still was there 30 years ago.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14"The coming of the Lord draweth nigh."

0:18:19 > 0:18:25We moved into our pew, which would have been roughly here.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31The hymn books used to be in the front, so you grabbed a hymn book

0:18:31 > 0:18:35and the pastor would have called out the hymn.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39We were singing away, as we do.

0:18:40 > 0:18:48The next thing we heard, as the pastor has said,

0:18:48 > 0:18:51it was like pebbles being thrown up against the window.

0:18:52 > 0:18:59Whenever you are not used to the sound of gunfire so close,

0:18:59 > 0:19:04you probably wonder what is going on.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10These doors burst open and Dad ran.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14I can just see him out of the corner of my eye.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Just running up and I think he shouted, "Get down, get down!"

0:19:18 > 0:19:20So we all got down.

0:19:20 > 0:19:25I remember getting down just under the seats as best we could

0:19:25 > 0:19:33until the bullets all stopped and everything was just very silent.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43I can remember getting out of the seat and going up the aisle

0:19:43 > 0:19:49and following where Dad had went. I member seeing him, lying.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52I remember asking a lady, was he dead?

0:19:52 > 0:19:55She said, "Yeah, I think he is, son."

0:19:59 > 0:20:02'My sister recalls how I came back out of that room

0:20:02 > 0:20:04'bawling at the top of my voice.'

0:20:04 > 0:20:09We never realised then, my dad had...wasn't there any more.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14- REPORTER:- The Pentecostal Church was filled today with police

0:20:14 > 0:20:16and soldiers, not worshippers.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21The killers describe themselves as the Catholic Reaction Force,

0:20:21 > 0:20:24an unknown grouping, with a title implying revenge

0:20:24 > 0:20:26and narrow sectarianism.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Hello?- Hello. How are you? - Doing all right.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02'The Bible talks about faith being a gift

0:21:02 > 0:21:05'and we all get different measures of faith.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07'I think God has given me a great measure of faith.'

0:21:07 > 0:21:11That was you at your sweetest, when you were all wee angels.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14- Mmm.- Mmm. What happened?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16THEY LAUGH

0:21:16 > 0:21:18'People would say, "How do you know you are saved?

0:21:18 > 0:21:22"I would say, "I know I'm saved, because I know I'm saved."

0:21:22 > 0:21:25God has put such a mark within me.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29You weren't bad, by any stretch of the imagination. Wild, maybe,

0:21:29 > 0:21:34but you have changed and you have settled and you do know

0:21:34 > 0:21:35your responsibilities now.

0:21:35 > 0:21:40I can't ask more out of life than that for you.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42'Thank you, God.'

0:21:42 > 0:21:43Thank you, God.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45CHILDREN REPEAT PHRASE

0:21:45 > 0:21:48'My whole desire has changed, my attitude changed,

0:21:48 > 0:21:53'my thought process changed. I used to work all day and night.'

0:21:53 > 0:21:56I put that into perspective and started working a normal 9-5 or 8-5.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01'I started to spend time with my family.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03'My whole life changed, in that area.'

0:22:05 > 0:22:07'I have an oldest boy of 17, coming now.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10'All of a sudden, it was, my sons are precious to me.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13I want to build relationships. My life's too precious

0:22:13 > 0:22:16to be walking about Monday to Friday with my head down and the drink.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I want to enjoy my life.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22When I got saved, I became a better father.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25There were years I didn't realise, I didn't appreciate, what...

0:22:25 > 0:22:30- When I got saved, I started to invest in you...- Filled a bigger bond.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Filled a bond. We have a bond, thankfully.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37I think before I got saved, anyway, my relationship with you...

0:22:37 > 0:22:40I was too selfish. It was all me, me, me.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44'Me and my father didn't have a great relationship,

0:22:44 > 0:22:46'but when we both became Christians,

0:22:46 > 0:22:48'at separate times and different places,

0:22:48 > 0:22:53'God saved the both of us and now we have a great relationship.'

0:22:53 > 0:22:54So, God restores.

0:23:03 > 0:23:07GOSPEL SINGING

0:23:10 > 0:23:11'Faith, for me,

0:23:11 > 0:23:14'is something that God has given me. Faith is that I can see God,

0:23:14 > 0:23:18'that even when things are not going how I thought they would turn out,

0:23:18 > 0:23:21'I know that He is in control of my life.'

0:23:21 > 0:23:25GOSPEL SINGING

0:23:25 > 0:23:29There will be 1,000 reasons come against you, to discourage you from

0:23:29 > 0:23:32giving your life to the Lord, but you know one thing,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35I will say this, I wasted at last three years fighting with myself,

0:23:35 > 0:23:39thinking that this world offered better.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43I was fortunate that God was still patient with me and I came to a point

0:23:43 > 0:23:46where I could. Forget about who you are and what people think about you,

0:23:46 > 0:23:50even what you think of yourself, because quite early on,

0:23:50 > 0:23:54when I got saved, I talked about not being a man who could follow through

0:23:54 > 0:23:58on things, and that is true. But I thank God that He follows through

0:23:58 > 0:23:59on all things.

0:23:59 > 0:24:05CHORAL SINGING

0:24:07 > 0:24:10If we had all the answers now, there would be no mystery.

0:24:10 > 0:24:16If we had all the answers now, there'd be no need for faith.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Faith means you have to have faith in something you can't see,

0:24:20 > 0:24:23can't touch, can't feel, but you know that, somehow or other,

0:24:23 > 0:24:24this is right.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27CHORAL SINGING

0:24:30 > 0:24:33We are mindful of what God can do.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37God is almighty.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41And so, we should have a reverence and an awe for God.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45'I can't imagine myself without faith.'

0:24:45 > 0:24:48I suppose it is the fuel that keeps you going.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52'You will have your ups and downs.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57'You will have your trials and tribulations,

0:24:57 > 0:25:00'but you have that sort of relationship with the Saviour

0:25:00 > 0:25:05'and you have that understanding that there is hope for you

0:25:05 > 0:25:07'and there is hope for everybody.'

0:25:07 > 0:25:11CHORAL SINGING

0:25:12 > 0:25:16'There is one hymn that sums up my belief,

0:25:16 > 0:25:20'because it talks about people coming together.'

0:25:20 > 0:25:25"All praise to our redeeming Lord He join us by His grace

0:25:25 > 0:25:30"And bids us each to each restored Together seek his face.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34"And if our fellowship below In Jesus be so sweet

0:25:34 > 0:25:37"What height of rapture shall we know

0:25:37 > 0:25:39"When round His throne we meet."

0:25:40 > 0:25:42To me, that sums up my belief.

0:26:15 > 0:26:21'I feel sorry for anyone who can lift a gun or plant a bomb...

0:26:22 > 0:26:26'..and kill a fellow human being.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31'You do wonder, at times,

0:26:31 > 0:26:38'and over the years, you sort of just say, you know,'

0:26:38 > 0:26:41"Why? Why did it have to be us?

0:26:42 > 0:26:47"Why Darkley? Why a church?"

0:26:47 > 0:26:51'There is a lot of bad things happen to good people and,

0:26:51 > 0:26:54'because of my Christian belief and Christian upbringing

0:26:54 > 0:26:58'and my relationship with God, I don't hold any bitterness

0:26:58 > 0:27:02'towards them. It is my duty, as a Christian,'

0:27:02 > 0:27:08to forgive those who sin against me, as The Lord's Prayer teaches us.

0:27:10 > 0:27:15Although I am sure that tonight may be difficult for some of those

0:27:15 > 0:27:19that are present with us, this evening is not

0:27:19 > 0:27:25so much about how our friends died, it is about how they lived.

0:27:25 > 0:27:29For all three, as elders of Mountain Lodge Pentecostal Church,

0:27:29 > 0:27:32were devout Christian believers.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46'It is like what Jesus said about the house that was built on sand -

0:27:46 > 0:27:49'you can't build your life on the sand, cos if you build you life

0:27:49 > 0:27:53'on the sand and the rains come, then the house will fall down.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56'He said, "Build your life on the rock."

0:27:56 > 0:28:02'Thankfully, that is my testimony that, whenever the storm came,

0:28:02 > 0:28:05'those 30-odd years ago, that my house

0:28:05 > 0:28:09'and my life was built on a firm foundation, on a firm rock.

0:28:09 > 0:28:14'And, as a result of that, the storm, the tragedy,'

0:28:14 > 0:28:19it didn't sink me. I was kept firm. And that is the key.
