Addicted and Convicted

The writings in this book are mirrored to the first book except on a more mature level. He wrote about his wife, Teresa, and how she tolerated his habits. Although she witnessed all of what alcohol and drugs did to him, they were never divorced. She just tolerated him - JUST BECAUSE. Her love saved him from sin. He knew the power of women, too, on how they need men. Gregory knew what these habits would do to him physically, but until he met the Lord, they had control over him.

He loved music and always told me Kris Kristopherson stole one of the songs he wrote. Romance and love were inseparable. You couldn't have one without the other. That romance and love permeated through everything Gregory did. Gregory was close to our Native Americans and their sacred land. Once I met Francis Eagle Tail, Jr., a good friend of his from Minnesota.

It took Gregory 38 years to get to the life he wanted. His drinking and drugs, on the good side, prompted him to put the pencil to the paper and was able to express to the world of where they should go - to the Lord to be saved.

Gregory was ready to dance. In my opinion, that was just another way of Gregory saying and wanting all people to follow the Lord who is full of love, laughter, and tolerance.
