I'm a third generation biker, saved by grace. When I say biker, I don't mean we owned motorcycles and rode on weekends. I mean, I ran dope, guns and women. I hurt people who screwed the club or didn't pay their dope debts. I dealt dope and babysat girls at the strip club.
Coming from a very violent home life and being addicted to dope from an early age, I didn't learn the nicer things in life like emotions and social skills. Eventually, I ended up homeless and finally in rehab. I learned about the higher power concept and eventually finally had my "appointment" with God. I was hesitant to go there because I had played for the other team for a while and I was sure that God would not forgive me. I have since learned that God is not mad at me, that He loves me where I am.
I quit fighting Him and while I stil can't relate to people who have been saved all their lives, I serve God in the best way I know how. By taking what was given to me back to where I came from. I go back into hell on a daily basis and I don't preach. I just love them where they're at. I am available to share my experience strength and hope when asked.
