When did you accept Christ’s gift of salvation as your very own?
I was in the sixth grade when I first recognized my sin and need for a savior.  I was blessed to have a great church that shared with me the truth of Christ’s forgiveness and then spent time working to teach me how to live a life of a Christian.  It would be several years later before I was baptized, but I will never forget the altar where I prayed and asked Christ to rescue me from myself.

What is your favorite vacation destination?
Seaside, FL.  The rest of the tourists can visit, but they have no idea how beautiful that place was before the roads were paved.
