It's difficult to relate a lifetime journey in a few words.
I committed my life to Jesus when I was 7 and spent the next 30+ years running from Him. But The Hound of Heaven is relentless. God blessed me while still in sin by allowing me to marry my childhood sweetheart. As said in the bible, the believing spouse sanctifies the non-believer. She is a true child of God. A long career in law enforcement/public safety helped force a choice, either believe life has no value and sink, or accept salvation. Only a Savior who sees the truth would have ever bothered to pursue such a sinner as me.
The later part of my story can be seen in the "Testimonies" thread A Testimony in Five Parts.
