Personal:
It was March of 1991 when I was at a crossroads in my life. Everything that I had worked so hard for was disappearing right before my eyes. In fourteen months, I had broken my right foot twice and my left foot twice. The only thing of importance at that time was football - and it was being taken away from me because of injuries. After thoughts of suicide, I called my dad. He simply said, "Son, Jesus loves you and He'll never leave you nor forsake you." That night I asked Jesus to be my bestfriend, Lord and Savior and surrendered my lfe into his hands. To this day I find peace in that decision – a peace that only Jesus could have given me.
