Eighty Years Revised

Long Ton had been a lecturer on pedagogy/philosophy at the Dalat University, 1968–1975, before he was terminated at the fall of the Second Republic of Vietnam. An eleven-year lengthy death has been following until he was born again neither by might nor by power. The true stories of his real lives have been published since 2003 as testimonials to the Spirit, which had brought him on the eagle’s wings for a spiritual journey backward some millennia into the ancient Hebrews’ spirituality whereat he discovered their creator YHVH as never been ever taught before. He was turning eighty when he claimed to have been born a stranger and sojourner to be walking the sojourners’ way for all the years of his previous two lives and the following third. All the way, although he has always been very happy because he was abundantly blessed, time and again he used to get himself worried more and much more worried as he cannot become a blessing yet, that is, a blessing as he thought he ought to be—to the best of my knowledge. —David Kolzion
