Saved: I asked Jesus to be my Savior at the age of 10 after our pastor presented the gospel to us in Sunday School. But as a youth, I partied on Saturday nights and was in church on Sunday mornings, trying to live in two different "worlds." I fully surrendered to Jesus as my Lord in 1979 and have been completely sold out to Him since!
