Day One: Learning about me…


I thought it might be a good idea for you to know who I am and how I have arrived at this point. I’m going to break this up into five parts and we are going to go with one part each day. So keep checking back and hearing more. Let the focus on me begin!

Yeah...
I was raised in the church from the time I was born. My mom had a mullet with a perm, and my dad had a Geraldo mustache back then. I am the oldest of four, though the two youngest came when I was twelve and fifteen years old, respectively. I was born in Alabama, lived in Georgia, and spent the last fifteen years here in Johnson City, TN, though I’m still a huge Crimson Tide fan.

Having grown up in church, I do not remember a time when I did not believe in God. One of my earliest memories was praying to God (every night) that I would get to go to heaven when I died. Though it is difficult for a kid that age to have a firm grasp on the concept of sin, I truly believe that I was saved at that young age.

Throughout my life there have been some major storylines that have been used by God to define who I am. For the next week you will get to hear some of the ones that I believe have had the most profound effect on me.

Question of the day: When were you saved? What do you remember about it?

Please leave a short paragraph in the comment box and we can share in God’s goodness together. Hearing other people’s stories will only reinforce our knowledge of the power of God to save!
