  • Hospitalization
    Sept. 16, 2023, 7 p.m.
    Hello beloved, I had to go to the ER on Thursday, 14 September 2023, for atrial fibrillation. I was admitted into hospital yesterday for A Fib with RVR. Fortunately, the matter was resolved and I was discharged this afternoon. The cause is under investigation; yet, i know it was due to stress. I will do the best I can to finish the work that remains unfinished, but I cannot forsee myself starting any new narrations, as I have a problem with not breathing correctly when i talk. Brother Duane
  • One statement to make
    Aug. 20, 2023, 6:54 a.m.
    Jon 42:3 I have uttered things that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Job 42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. I have spoken things that were done so in haste and foolishness, thinking I was praising God. Now, I see that I am but a fool. I repent, oh Lord... in dust and ashes. Please forgive me.
  • Health Update
    July 20, 2023, 9:21 a.m.
    Hello friends, I'm slowly getting some health back. I thank you for your prayers. I'm feeling well enough to attempt another chapter of "a lifting up for the downcast" by William Bridge in the next day or so. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless and preserve you. Your servant, Brother Duane
  • Another setback
    July 16, 2023, 6:26 p.m.
    Hi my friends, I've been advised by my care team at the VA, to reduce my speaking/talking as it could be a cause of my high blood pressure. I'll take it one day at a time, and do my best to continue with "A Lifting Up for the Downcast", for I am truly downcast with yet another health related issue. Getting old is not much fun, yet, I am grateful to Our Father in Heaven for His mercy... It could be worse. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless and preserve you. Brother Duane

  • Change 101

    Hello friends, It was put upon me, to narrate something comforting. So, I will be narrating "A Lifting Up of the Downcast" by Puritan William Bridge, as a part of the "Digital Puritan" series of books. Afterward, perhaps "Ten Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices" by Puritan Thomas Brooks from the public domain PDF. We need comfort and assurance in this troubling time. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless and preserve you.
  • Next narration
    July 5, 2023, 6:50 a.m.
    Hello friends! I'll be continuing on with "Freedom of the Will" by Jonathan Edwards.
  • Finishing previously started books
    July 2, 2023, 8 p.m.
    Hi friends, I'm back primarily to finish stuff that I already started. I don't anticipate starting anything new, but God may put me to the task of narrating something else. The end of the ministry, was the work on preparing yourself to meet the Lord Jesus Christ, as I thought this a fitting closure to the work. Thank you again, for your interest. Brother Duane
  • Social Media Shut Down
    April 30, 2023, 11:41 a.m.
    Hello friends of the ministry! A few moments ago, I deactivated my Twitter account. I am now totally retired from ministry and await the redemption of the body in Glorification; looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. My race is finished. By God's Grace in Christ Jesus Our Lord, the work is done. Be found with oil in your lamps, friends. Be found in preparation for His Return. Keep your eyes on Jesus and pray that your attention toward Him never wavers. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
  • I am officially retired from ministry
    April 8, 2023, 11:23 p.m.
    Hello friends, Last night, I had to be admitted into the ER for Level 3 Hypertension. At my dental appointment earlier in the day, I had my BP done and I was at 222/135. Later in the evening, I finally relented and went to the ER. My BP was 270/165. The staff were able to bring me back down to 157/86 and I was discharged. However, my blood sugar was also super high. That being said, I have to keep from excitement for a time unknown. I am also cutting back on social media. Thank you for everything.
