When I was fifteen years old, I was scared. I was scared of Nuclear
war, of what people thought about me, about dying, etc. I believed in
God and Jesus, but didn't know a lot about them.

One night, my older brother asked me to go along with him to a prayer
meeting. This was something because my big brother never asked me along
to anything (wee brothers are so uncool).

That night I heard people really praying, talking to God, asking Him
for things, telling Him how great He was, as though He were there in
the room.
I felt a big question had been answered for me, that somehow everything
I had known about God in my head was really true, that I had found what
I was looking for.

I knew that Jesus loved me, yes, big awkward me who was so scared of
everything. From that moment on I can honestly say that my life
completely changed and that now, many years, a wife and five children
later, deciding to follow Jesus and let Him lead my life, was the best
decision I have ever made.
