Terrance Tracy Biography

I was born in Port Arthur Texas USA in 1947. I lived in Port Arthur the first four years of my life with very sketchy details just glimpses of my childhood is all that remains.
We moved to New Iberia Louisiana for several years we lived in my mother's hometown I remember my father going to California to find work. I was scarcely prepared for what I was to endure in the first grade. It seems to me that is where my life began for I was sitting in a classroom filled with other children that were cognizant of what the teacher was trying to teach, but as for me, I had no idea why I was sitting there. I must have learned something because I was promoted to the second grade (get rid of this kid) a phrase often heard or thought would run through my head for the next three years. At the completion of first grade we moved to Southern California until the completion of my sophomore year of high school and returned to Louisiana living in Loreauville a small village town 6 miles east of New Iberia.I finished my last two years of high school and joined the Navy.
After active duty I attended a vocational technical school where I received my diploma as an electronics technician. I worked in the consumer industry for 20 years and then in industrial electronics industry for 18 years.
At age 62 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease unable to work because of the medications and pain of constantly shaking for four years. Recently I went through a surgery to have a neurotransmitter implanted in my chest with wires leading to my brain to calm tremors of my right side and it will be an ongoing therapy for the rest of my life. I began writing commentaries on Bible scriptures that has inspired me.
After four years of writing commentaries I was becoming a little bit to critical would not my Lord be better pleased if I wrote them in the form of prose instead of criticism, would not He be better served with poetry. For that I often pray that he gives me something to say to put life back into the light from the darkness from which it came.
