29 years ago today

April 1, 1982 During my first semester at Western Ill Univ, I attended a revival service at a local church in Macomb, IL where Pastor Rapheal Green was speaking. That night I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. WOW what a ride. That night I thought I accepted Christ too early because I didn't have a big sin that God could use for future ministry. Thank YOU JESUS for saving my soul. I didn't need a big sin, I needed the love and acceptance of a loving and gracious God. Thank you Lord for your grace and forgiveness. These pass 29 years have been quite an adventure. Full of ministry, struggles, growth, redefining myself in Christ and being shaped (and still is) to reflect His kingdom. I am VERY grateful for all of the people through the years who have mentored, corrected, rubbed me the wrong way, challenged, accepted and loved me all 47 years. Thank you for being a blessing to me. Today I celebrate. I would not live any other way. This is the great adventure. FULL ON FOR CHRIST for the next 29 years.
