My name is Ray Ficarra. I am a Christian business man, husband to my wife for over 35 years, a father of three boys and a grand father to three beautiful grand daughters. My wife and I are regular attendees at Meadowbrook Church.

1978 at the age of 16, I started as a helper in the aluminum industry building screen rooms, and I am still in that industry today. 38 years later I own my own handyman business but I still perform sub contract work for other local aluminum companies.

When you build screen rooms it encompasses a lot of other facets of construction such as Glass Rooms, Acrylic Rooms, Vinyl Windows, Screen Rooms, Patio Covers, Room Additions, Replacement Windows, Replacement Doors, Screen Doors, Storm Doors, Porch Rescreens, Pool Enclosures, Re-screen, Hose Gutters, Insulated Roofs, Sheds, U-Rooms, Concrete, House Painting, Light Plumbing (Hot Water Heater Replacement, Faucet Repair or replacement, Toilet rebuilding or replacement), Light Electric (Light Replacement, Fan Installation and Replacement).

I have done many types of floor coverings such as Vinyl, Linoleum, Ceramic Tile, Porcelain Tile, Hard Wood, and Floating Floors and Laminates.

I am also experienced in all types of trim work such as Clam Shell Molding, Colonial Molding, Base Boards, and Crown Molding.

I see to have a God given ability to understand directions for "assembly required" projects like Wall Units, Chairs, Tables, Computer Desks, File Cabinets, Dressers, Night Stands, Book Shelves, and Bathroom Vanities to name a few.

I should start by saying from birth to approximately age 46 I have always believed in God but was not a practicing Christian. And I should also say that I always tried hard to be a good person, husband, son, father, man etc. But the journey began at 46 for me it was a time I will never forget. In October of 2009 I found myself in the hospital facing open heart surgery. I had already by age 40 had two heart attacks. They were taken care of by stints. But this was much different I needed a 6-way bypass. The surgery was serious but I was still in a good frame of mind always the optimist. I was ready for this. It was a Sunday night the day before surgery my family by my side. The hospital had a video for me to watch that told of the procedure what to expect, how to conduct myself in the recovery time and what to do or not to do. In the video, it talked about the surgeon stopping my heard and for several hours I would be on life support, while they were doing the necessary bypass procedure. And the most critical part of the procedure was the restarting of my heart. This scared me to death! I had no idea my heart would be stopped of course now it makes sense they can’t do delicate bypasses with your heart jumping all over the place. At this point I just put on a good face for my wife, kids and grandchildren who were all there. I kissed everybody good night, I assured everyone I would be fine we said our "I love you’s and good nights." They were coming to get me for surgery at 5:30 am Monday As soon as my wife left to go home, I don’t think the door even closed behind her, when I broke down and in all seriousness cried like a child. I was, to say the least, scared to death. I started to panic, I was eaten up with anxiety, when I called out for Jesus and I prayed like never before. I asked God into my life I asked him for forgiveness, I expressed that I wanted to live if it was his will. I told him I was scared and to please guide the surgeon’s hands. I prayed so much that I fell asleep and I think it was the best night of sleep I had ever had.I was awakened at 4:30 a.m. by the nurse and that they were going to start preparing me for surgery. I was so calm and slept so well I asked the nurse if he had given me something the night before. He said no they not allowed to with early surgeries it could interfere with anesthesia. I knew instantly it was God and I was ready, let’s do this. I went into surgery confident that God had this and he did. Surgery went well and after a brief stay at the hospital I went home for 8 weeks of recovery. Oddly enough you would think I would be in church every week, it took me a while to recover and to wrap my mind around all I had been through. I did however have daily conversations with God. I knew he was there. It wasn’t until April 2010 when we started to attend church. It was Easter weekend when I told my wife I would like to go to church this Easter. She was In favor but opted not to go because we had the kids, and grandchildren coming over for Easter dinner. So not wanting go by myself and not knowing even where to go I opted out too.Fast forward to Easter morning at like 8:00 am. My son Alan came out of his room all dressed up. I said where are you going all dressed up he said I’m going to church. I said wait for me I’ll go with you. He had been to a large church here in Ocala called Meadowbrook Church before. He said the pastor was awesome (Tim Gilligan). So we went and it was unbelievable it was life changing for me. The next week my wife and I along with our son, went and all three of us accepted Jesus as our Lord and savior. We still go to the same church the teaching is unbelievable. We find ourselves eagerly awaiting Sunday mornings.So today as I write this its April 25, 2017 at 6:00 am and I am reflecting on my life and God’s work is everywhere I look. It’s not always been easy but it so rewarding. God is so amazing. Anyone who would like to hear more, please ask me I have so many God stories to tell. My prayer is for you, anyone who may be struggling with making this decision to except Jesus into your life. Please don’t wait any longer it is so important and so life changing and I would love to help you, please just ask.
