Well, I just celebrated 31 years of pasturing.

I got saved, like you said, at age 19. There's a punk rocker, drug addict. Your

uncle let me hide in his garage when I wasn't saved. Someone was actually trying to kill

me and I needed to get away. And I was still on drugs. I got radically saved after three

days on speed and I came in that garage and I fell to my knees.

I was a punk rocker from the 80s, anti-Christ, anarchist, hated everything about authority, religion.

And I felt them, I don't even know why I fell to my knees.

Something pushed me down. I said, God, if you're real, I don't even know why I fell to my knees. Something pushed me down.

I said, God, if you're real, I've been shooting up coke and heroin and other junk for,

I owed D twice time I was 16, so I lived on my own since I was 15.

And I said one prayer, I couldn't even explain it. I never drank, never got

high, never smoked a cigarette, didn't have a withdrawal. I had hepatitis. They prayed over me.

The doctor said it left me. He took me to church the next day. I never left. Never left.

And got married at 21 and got announced a pastor at 25 now you said you got

married at 21 and people may not believe this but I was actually there at the wedding yes

you were your mom and dad were the best man and made of honor at my wedding and your mom was

pregnant with you.

So I was there.
