I am the youngest of two girls. My childhood was rather uneventful, although I always had a fascination about God, and often found myself “playing church” with my dolls. My father and I were baptized together, when I was nine years old, in a private ceremony of a local church sanctuary. I have always remembered that night, and know deep in my heart, that God made me His own at that time.
When I was a teen, in the sixties, my time was spent caught up in the hippie movement. I honestly felt that I was born exactly when I should have been, as I had to change nothing about myself to fit in. My involvement in civil rights activities, and concern for getting our troops out of Viet Nam was very strong, and the “Jesus Movement” came along at just the right time for me. Although I strayed from time to time away from my walk with the Lord, He has never allowed me to wander too far off of His path for my life. Whenever I was finished dabbling in the worldly aspects of life, He always welcomed me home as He would any prodigal son.
Through good times and bad, triumphs and tragedies, Jesus has been by my side, and has blessed me with a loving, supportive family, to see me through some very dark hours. Everything that I am, everything that I have, belongs to Him, and I give Him all of the praise and honor and glory. In Christian Love, Kathy.view less
