A different post than I had planned.
Either way, regardless of the original intent of this evenings note to you is the same.
I have grown up a lot. I felt betrayed by God in 1997. For the last ten years I have lived..for the lack of a better sequence of words..as if there was no God.
When I look at my life, I do think there is a part of these events that would have occurred with or without my faith. There are also those events which I know was caused by own turn-about from God. I always used to think, when I was heavily involved in church, that you could do whatever you wanted and you would pay for it somehow. It would come back to you.
I basically forgot those words of advice, or shall I call them guidance, and went on living MY LIFE MY WAY. It hasn't worked.
This past Friday I sat on a Canada Air Regional Jet flying home from Kansas City, and I prayed. This is nothing new, I pray on each every flight, at the tarmac...and as we take off on the runway. Each time I have been safe: it has helped or it may be coincidence. What I do not think is coincidence is that each time I am in a position where I have no control of my destiny, I all of a sudden feel the need for God. But, as soon as I touchdown safely...I take back over.
If I felt I was my own God when I am in control..and when I was not in control, I would not have the feeling I do today. I am done fighting. I give myself back to you Lord.
I am on the path to become a man of faith again.
I once was a youth minister, I once had a Christian talk radio show. I once made an impact in peoples lives.
I want that again. And not by writing horrible things and trying to shock and awe peoples senses. Instead, I want to show the world the light I have inside of me. A light I feel was put there by Jesus Christ.
So, there you have my story. A little more on why I pulled the book. A little more on the evolving of a man who had been lost for so long. I believe...that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save all of us. That is my firm belief. I KNOW that there are some out there who will argue this...and some out there who will question this.
But, I come to you in truth. A lonely lost man with nothing to lose. But the whole world to gain.
My promises to you:
1) I will believe my beliefs, but will not force them on anyone. I came to this decision on my own...with no ones help. I hope you do the same.
2) I will fight to protect free speech the same as today. I may not use that freedom as often as I have been, but I still think it is one of the greatest freedoms in this world.
3) I will fight for the Freedom of Religion. This is where other Christians will not agree with me. I HAVE FAITH THAT JESUS CHRIST CAME TO THIS WORLD AND DIED TO GIVE US EVERLASTING LIFE. However, if you don't..and you feel a different way...that in no way impacts me as a person. I strongly feel you should have the right to believe however you want.
4) I will prove Ann Coulter wrong. I think Liberals and Christianity are all about the same philosophies: Taking care of people, Working towards peace, And standing up for what you know is right.
The list goes on...but these are the key things for you to know. I welcome your emails or comments here.
