“I started selling drugs because my priorities were wrong,” Leonard admits. “I wanted extra cash. That worked until I tried cocaine. Then I lost control.” He continues: “What bothers me is that I was supposed to be the man of the house — providing for Cynthia and our five daughters. Instead, I lost my job, got my wife addicted, became cruel and hardheaded with my family.”

After everything I did, I’m amazed God still had a good plan for me.”
