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...
