From an early age, I always wondered why I was born. Was in church when I was 16 and 17 yrs old.. was searching but never seemed to find anything. - Left there, went out and did exactly whatever I wanted to do in life for 13 years. Through life's circumstances, and in desperation, ,I wound up on the floor and prayed to Jesus. I said "I've made a royal mess of my life, and if you can make anything good out of my life - I give my life to you". And, as I found out, HE took me at my word, and began to make himself real to me. At 69 today (my birthday), I would say it's been an incredible and marvelous journey - an adventure everyday. Finding that relationship was like walking through a portal of the supernatural - and I found it was the KEY. …. so simple, after all. In that 13 years, I delved into everything you can think of, always looking and looking and never finding. … reading books that always would lay out all the questions, but in the end, had no answers ! - so frustrating. I found out that being religious is a dead-end. Being religious was just something to soothe my conscience, made me feel better about myself that 'Oh, I went to church today'… but, you could really sum it up to be a zero. That's like, for years, cutting the grass of somebody that is really famous, and never, ever meeting them.- a real zero. Because, I really was NOT ACQUAINTED with Him. I had to make that KEY connection, and then everything changed. I was now on the inside circle of the ONE that counted.
