Brisbane Village Shopping Center, Brisbane, California - Found here on February 2, 2009, by Fred Chapman, who is 52, who likes to fish, whose favorite animal is the dog, and who says:

I was in great fear the day I found the magnet, was at the notary trying to get birth certificate for state ID. Been in prison and homeless nine years. God led me home, with messages all the way, some small, some large, always coming when I needed them the most. Today I sleep inside, a free man. I have all ID necessary. I'm trying to do the right things for the right reason, waiting & looking for his message to my next journey. I would like to work in the outreach field, my life's experience & testimony may bring others to my lord. Please pray for me. I know god will give me what's needed. I need the strength & wisdom to know where to go from here. Thank you for carrying the message.
