Hello, it's nice to meet all on the forum and I thank you for allowing me to take part in it.

I was born and raised Catholic. One day I heard someone preaching on the television about baptism in a way that I had not been taught. Well, I was certain that the things I had been brought up to believe had to be correct so I determined in my mind to set out to prove the preacher wrong. I picked up the Douay-Rheims version of the Bible and I began to read. I read and I read and I read. Before I knew it, I had read the entire Bible! Many conflicts arose in my mind that needed to be resolved. I began to ernestly seek the Lord even though at that time I was unaware that seeking Him was the key to settling all of those conflicts. Through a beautiful process He led me to salvation for the first time in my life at the age of 32. What a wonderful prospect it was for me to believe that I was actually saved and that I could trust in His grace; that I didn't have to "do" things to obtain it and that He paid the price for my sins! Truly I became a new creature in Christ and am still in awe of what He did in my life. I will never lose my wonder and fascination for that lovely word "grace"!

I have taught Sunday School to all age groups for almost 23 years now, currently teaching a young adult class and I shall always proclaim and never forget the glorious message of the gospel; that good news that set me free!

The Holy Bible

It's cover is worn,
It's pages are torn,
It's pages bear traces of tears.
But this Book worn and old,
Is more precious than gold,
It can scatter and shatter my fears.
The old Book is a guide,
It's a friend by my side,
It lightens and brightens my way.
And each story I find,
Soothes and gladdens my mind,
As I read it and heed it each day.
