It's a long one and would prefer to talk to you one on one but suffice to know I accepted Christ after a long period of agnosticism, existentialism, and endless searching to find my way into the arms of Christ - it was a hard journey, fraught with mistakes, poor choices and heartache. I am extremely glad to be where I am today.
