I grew up in a Christian home. We
went to church every Sunday morning and evening, plus on Wednesday. I lived
with my mom in Memphis, Tennessee until I was 15. I accepted Christ at a young
age and was baptized around the age of 9 or 10. I believe I was sincere about
my decision at the time.
As I got into Middle School, I
started hanging with the wrong crowd. I started drinking, smoking, and
experimenting with drugs. When my mom found out, she sent me to my dad’s in
Wisconsin. I still drank and smoked with my dad’s permission, but I didn’t do
drugs.
After High School, I joined the Navy
and got married. During this time, I had walked away from God. I got into porn
and committed adultery on my first wife. She was doing it to me, so I figured I
would do it to her.
After the service, I started Truck
Drivers Ministry. I fell further from God. I became addicted to porn
and got married to my second wife. I kept drinking and watching porn, which
kept me from showing my wife the affection she deserved. It damaged me, and I
ended up getting married again before I met my current wife.
In 2010, we went back on the road and
came across a Rig CD entitled “Dominoes” by James Payne. That CD lit a fire in
our soul. We started searching truck stops for more CD’s. We got the “Free in
Christ” CD, which God used to bring me back to him. I believe whole heartedly
in media ministries. God is using CD’s to bring people to Him. I still struggle
with things, but I now can call on Jesus, and He will give me strength to get
through the day.
Friend, you can call on Jesus too! Go
ahead and call out to Him right now!
