I have been a Christian my whole life I guess, but for a long time I either didn't remember that, or didn't live by it, or both. I grew up going to church with my grandmother, therefore I thought of myself as a Christian, but I don't believe I was ever baptised in my grandmother's church. Was I still Christian, truly then, as a child? I thought I was....

I stopped going to church some time in my pre-teens. I'm not quite sure why, but I think it had to do with the fact that my grandmother didn't go quite as often as she used to.

But, the very cool thing was, when I was a Junior in High School - a time when the drinking and running around on the weekends was at a very all time high - I started going to church again. I joined a teen group then known as Teen Life, which was started in the basement of the wrestling coach's house. I was baptised in the Baptist Church my senior year of High School!

One very cool thing I just have to share with you that absolutely can't wait for a later post: my daughter, who is a Sophomore in High School (the very same) goes to what is now known as Campus Life, led by that very same wrestling coach!!! This is her 3rd year as a member of that group.

Back to me... After High School I stopped going to church again. This is where this day's blog ends. The next blog will begin where my days back in the grace of God picked back up.
