God spoke to me personally way back at a Christian summer camp when I was just a teenager, which was a transformational event for me. I am now retired. Since camp, there have been lots of ups and downs in life like most people. God has always been a faithful companion to guide me, correct me when I have gone off the track, and pick me up to dust me off to get me back on track. He has answered so many prayers in unmistakable ways as I still learn to know Him better. I believe in His promise of eternity in heaven because of the sacrifice Jesus paid for me on the cross, which I accepted so long ago.
