My recollections of how I become a Christian

I didn’t become a Christian like most people.  Most of them probably are led to the church by their friends and families.  I hate that idea.  I hate being part of a mob.  I wanted to be different.  I do not want people to influence my views.  Not even people whom are closed to me.

So, I stepped  foot into a church for the first time in my life (other than touristy trips to the churches in Italy, France and Australia), feeling very awkward and very amused.  I went in alone!  Yes, I was amused how orderly those church goers were.  As orderly as those people in Mr. Bean’s cartoon.

What influences me are songs by Don Moen.  A friend gave me his name and that was the first cassette I bought.  I couldn’t afford a CD so I bought a cassette.   I just heard Don Moen again and felt the nostalgia of those days when I was searching for that ‘something’ I long for.  I found it.  In Christ.
