  • Twenty-one Years

    Twenty-one years ago I was baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist church. What a journey it has been.

    When I was in high school I knew that one day I would attend a university that was operated by a church. I was a Free-Will Baptist back then, until around 1981, when I started attending a different type of baptist church. I didn't know I would eventually join the SDA church and graduate with a journalism degree from a school in Texas. Then again, after all the reruns of M*A*S*H, I never imagined myself going to South Korea and teaching English as a missionary. I had hope that one day I could learn a martial art, but never imagined myself learning in Asia. I never imagined myself as an "international speaker," but I have delivered messages in two countries and before audiences made up of Korean, Thai, and Karen people.  

    Trust God. He will blow your imagination. The only thing He asks you to give up is... your life.
