Is It a Coincidence or One of God's Wonderful Miracles?

Pastor Richard Skoff was keeping a dangerous secret from his wife Theresa and from his church. “I was having trouble writing checks and dialing the phone. I wasn’t getting anything done. I would go to church and just lock myself in my office and not even answer the phone”, Richard says, “not see anybody and for a pastor that’s a hard thing.”

Theresa remembers, “I thought it was an emotional problem. Like I thought, ‘he’s not caring or we’re not connecting

like we used to. What’s going on here?’”

It soon became evident to the church board that something was wrong with their pastor. Gina Clausen remembers what it was like to talk to Richard. “He would get fixated on things and just, you’d have a conversation and you’d think, ‘something’s not right here.’”

“I couldn’t control my brain,” says, Richard. “People would say things to me and I would answer them, but it wouldn’t even be what they were talking about.”
