Hello, I am very excited to have found this forum... haven't had much time to say much... so much to read...
A little about myself... I've battled alcoholism and drug addiction pretty much all of my life... I've been clean and sober for over five years now ... I have a hunger for the truth now... I have a personal relationship with God now... He is teaching me... somehow He led me to this web site... God has become real to me these last few years and not just a character in a book ... I however no longer just trust whatever I read or hear as being truth... there are a lot of weird teachings going on now days, or it may be that I am just more aware of them now... I like what I have found here so far...
  I was in Teen Challenge in the 70's for drug addiction ... and upon graduation I thought I was pretty smart about God... after all I'd had all those classes etc... I started drinking whiskey... smart huh? That continued on for about twenty years... I am only alive because of God's grace...
 The first thing I did when I sobered up was start to read the Bible... I started out with a read the Bible in one year type method... after I finished the year I realized how much I don't know... I still don't know much... but I am learning a lot... I hope to fit in here... please forgive me if I offend you with my ignorance... I hope to be able to share with honesty and ask for the same in return... don't be afraid to hurt my feelings if I am wrong about something... like I said... I have a hunger for the truth... I've been lied to long enough...
  I want to serve Jesus Christ in the way He wants me to... but I always seem to fall a little short... I am so thankful we are saved by grace...
  Well... that's me...

Hi Barrabus,

I am glad you have joined us here  
It is hard to comprehend what we were actually willing to do in our blindness.  But when God brings us to His wonderful truth and all those things become more and more the distant pass.  We don't forget it, but we are now living our life to serve Him and not self.  So join in the discussion, it is so nice to have like minded people to fellowship with.
Here are a few links so you can see what we have here.
