Because my whole family was religious and musical it...

Because my whole family was religious and musical it followed that I too would begin my studies in both areas. All this set me for the logical position of Music Minister in many of the churches that I became affiliated with over the years. I started teaching keyboard instruments in 1960 and by 1963 owned my own studios in Laurel, Maryland, called Estes Music Studios. Over the next 30 years my father and I worked together in many business projects.

We had entertainment programs, shows and attractions. We opened piano and organ stores all the way from Texas and Oklahoma to Florida. I made millions of dollars in those years, but could not find the peace of mind that can only come through knowing the truth and finding the real plan of salvation. Im sure you have asked yourself the question; Why did God create me? or What is it that God wants me to do? or Exactly who is God, anyway? Why do we believe in original sin?

and Why would the sons of Adam be forced to accept his sins and then as a result be punished forever. But if you asked anyone these questions, they would probably tell you that you have to believe without asking, or that it is a mystery and you shouldnt ask. And then there is the concept of the Trinity.

If I would ask preachers or ministers to give me some sort of an idea how one could figure out to become three or how God Himself, Who can do anything He Wills to do, cannot just forgive peoples sins, but rather and had to become a man, come down on earth, be a human, and then take on the sins of all people. Keeping in mind that all along He is still God of the whole universe and does as He Wills to do, both in and outside of the universe as we know it.

Then one day in 1991, I came to know that the Muslims believed in the Bible. I was shocked. How could this be? But thats not all, they believe in Jesus as: a true messenger of God; prophet of God; miracle birth without human intervention; he was the Christ or Messiah as predicted in the Bible; he is with God now and most important; He will be coming back in the Last Days to lead the believers against the Antichrist. This was too much for me.

Especially since the evangelists that we used to travel around with all hated Muslims and Islam very much. They even said things that were not true to make people afraid of Islam. So, why would I want anything to do with these people? My father was very active in supporting church work, especially church school programs.
