     My name is ---------------, or more commonly known by my friends and even people I don't know as Cowboy. The following story, or lack there of is something that I feel I must write.  You see I've lived a fairly difficult life, one that, I'm sad to say had many mistakes I've learned more about who I am and who I want to be. You must understand taht this document, is ment not as a christian conversion tool but something to show you my view on Christ's unending love and hopefully help you understand it a little better.
     I would like to make it known for the record that I am NOT a minister, missionary, or child of either. i am a 23 year old  man living a fairly normal life. I work as an EMT/Firefighter and have made many mistakes throughout my life. Mistakes that until I rediscovered Christ I refused to forgive myself for.
     You see when I was in the 3rd grade my dad began having heart attacks, bad ones. I was very religious and prayed that he would be ok, up until my Senior year in high school I was very active in the church. But still, no matter how hard I prayed, things got worse. My dad's health deteriorated, my familly was plagued with bills and hardships. I lost my faith.
     This is important for you to know. I lost my faith. I stopped believing in God. I broke promises i mad to hmi, I drank, I partied, I had sex before marriage all without regard or care to sin and forgiveness. I met a girl in college we fell in what I mistakenly called love, got engaged had sex, broke up and had a son. A son I love with all  my heart. A son I intend to teach about God's unending love for us. It wasn't until recently thanks to great friends who I have no doubt God sent to me that I foudn Jesus again. A faith and lvoe I never want to leave or lose again. I hope what I write in these pages will help you in whatever struggles you are facing.
     To those friends, if your reading this, you know who you  are, so I won't mention any names, I want to say thank you and God has truely blessed me by letting me know all of you.
        Sincerily;
           In Christ;
               Cowboy
