In 1996 (I was a junior in high school) my best friend took the lives of his entire family. I thought of them as my own family. Then I watched as my friend was tried and put into prison for 90 years. At that time I was faced with a choice. I could abandon faith as my other friends did or I could fully embrace all my parents and church family had taught me about Christ. I chose Christ. This was easy for me. You see, I was at the house the night before the crime and I felt compelled to tell each of them how much I loved them. I took each of them aside and told them how much they meant to me. Looking back I know God chose to give me that moment for the closure I was going to need through all of that.
After that I fell neck deep into christian music. It was where I could rest all my emotions. I went to Creation East music festival in 1997 and it was an experience I will never forget. On the first night I watched Delirious? perform and I knew immediatley they were my favoriate band of all time. As the years have gone by I have continued to set my feet on the solid ground of Christ. I married my beautiful wife (10 wonderful years so far) and we have had 2 beautiful children. I became a police officer for the same department that handled the case in which my friend was convicted. For the last 10 years I have tried to live my life within my career as a courier of the message of Christ. I don't care about the trouble I could get in for witnessing to the hurt, lost and mean spirited people that I have had to deal with over the years. Christ has always watched over me. I am known as a kindly determined officer that will do all I can to help. I do this because Christ allows me to affect lives for him. As my word count is running short I have to cut this short. I have also become a musician over the years and have been able to right many songs, all of them about Christ. I wanted you to know that through all that I have done it has been a great joy to always be able to play your music while I sit in the car, hang around the house or when I am in need of christian inspiration. Your music has helped drive me in my path in life. Thank you for all of the wonderful songs and testimonies through all the years. You have never disappointed me. May God continue to bless you and I will see you one day in Heaven.
