I was raised in the Roman Catholic faith from infancy and always believed and had faith in Jesus. However, I lived my life with the thought that I could have “Jesus” at any time I wanted – it was not a personal relationship. At the age of 61 and after years of drinking, I knew it was time to surrender my life fully to the Lord for now and forevermore. 

Since accepting Christ as my personal Savior, the changes that have taken place in my life are many. I am sober! I am building a loving relationship with Christ! I am becoming part of a Christian family, one that I have never had before! I am learning not to be selfish!   

My favorite scripture is found in Ephesians 6:10-12: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.“
