I am here for Friends

About Me

Wow! Where to begin? I have had such a sordid past that anyone who knew me even 5 years ago will tell you that I am not that person anymore. I almost don't want to talk to you about my past except for the last 5 years or so. The reason for this is that I was saved 4 1/2 years ago and it seems like all that other junk that I call my life is but a dream. Ok, a quick history. I was born in Iowa and lived most of my life there. I have lived in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Alabama, my favorite Hawaii and now I am living in Georgia. My parents got divorced when I was young and so we moved around quite a bit after that. I also believe this is where my world went south. I was around 7 or 8 when they got divorced and I took it real personal. It later lead to a life of drug and alcohol abuse that was such a waste of life in it's self. I had real problems with self-esteem and image. I hated this old place and wanted nothing more than to die for a majority of my life. Then...whew! Then Jesus happened to me. Now don't take me wrong, because I lived in that life for so many years in such a depraved way it has taken me a long time to heal my mind, heart and soul, but he has changed me so much. I owe Him everything. I want nothing more than to serve Him everyday of my life, and even though I fail miserably most days, I still try. He has allowed me time to learn my bible and to learn about His love through friends and family and His Holy Spirit.I edited my profile at ChristianMySpaceCodes.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I guess I am here because I would like to get to know some people who are like minded, and not. I am not here to antagonize or to be antagonized. I am a grown man, and if you want to talk and act like a child contact someone that is of that age group.May God come into your heart, mind, and soul and change you even more than He has changed me. If you are one of those changed, changing, or thinking about being changed people then I would like to meet you.

It's funny how you think you want certain things in life or certain people to be around you until it/they are taken away from you, and then you realize how truly happy you are just being with the Lord...

Do you play with Satan?

I was clearing out some areas around the front of my new house last week, and in the process I got a small rash from poison ivy. It's not bad, but it is a bit irritating, and I thought about how ...

Sadness

Why do some Christians seem to struggle with sadness when the bible teaches us that we should have joy because of what Christ did for us? This would have to be one of the biggest sins in my life right...
