christian

Where do I begin.... Well, I am a Christian. Jesus died for me and you and it rocks being a Christian. Granted I'm not a "Jesus Freak" honestley... That would be nice though. I am a pretty crappy Christian really. I sin all the time, but that's the cool thing about it. No matter what crap I do, God is always alright with it. He gets mad, but everyone does. I'm sure my dad was mad about changing my diapers, but he's over it now. Kinda the same thing...

I became a Christian, I guess, when I was little, but it didn't really mean anything to me. I was raised right, so I was not a bad kid, but I was not living a Christian life either. I did not know why I believed in God, I just knew I did. Then in May of 1997, I figured out that no other religion makes as much sense as Christianity. And I allowed God to take control of me... From then on a lot has happened, and every step of it was forged by God.

I got involved with Christian music and that opened a lot of doors for me. Or I should say God opened a lot of doors using music as modivation. My first concert was a Christian band, Plankeye. Days later I saw The Queers, giving me a basis for the underground scene. I was 13 years old.

In September of 1997 I helped out a an event a local Christian radio station was involved in. That gave me connections with them and I continued to help out when ever they would call me. Eventually, after high school and my stint in college, they offered me a job. Earlier that day I had woke up and decided to quit my job that day. When I got home early, the station had left a message on my machine. That was God... No way was that chance... See The KLYT Years for more info on all that...

After The Whores I got a job with a Christian rock group, The Newsboys...
That job SUCKED! But it also rocked and I would do it over in a second... God saved us so many times it's re-dic-you-lous... The cool thing about getting this job is that it was offered to me the day I lost my job at the radio station... Again, chances are even slimmer of that happening twice!

After the tour, I got a job at a local car dealership. Some friends I had made at the station really helped me out... God Bless them, the job was just what I needed... (Thanks Mike and Yvonne!) Unfortunately, I did not really like the job at the dealership and longed for something bigger and better. I worked with cool people, but the hours were weird and I was always tired and out of it...

I decided to give myself, and the dealership a date. I started there on July 1, 2000. I told them I would leave by October 1, 2000. This was in early September. The day I gave them that date I decided to go to the local Christian bookstore to buy some new cd's. My friend James was (and is) the music buyer there and I always go in and say hello and all. Well, that day James asked what I was up to. I told him I was unhappy at the dealership and he told me to apply at the store. They wanted to hire soon. So, I applied and got the job. And I am still there...

I guess the point of all that is that God always has my back. When I do something, He backs me up. He gives me the options and let's me run with them... But He never lets me mess myself up too bad... I cannot wait for all the other ish He has waiting for me.

I am a pretty crappy Christian. I hardly ever witness to anyone. I sporatically attend church. I always swear and watch violent movies... I suck. I wish I could be a better Christian, but I just don't know how. I've been burned by the biggest church in the state... I'm still pretty bitter and jaded. I think that is halting alot of my faith. I think that is why most people don't like Christians. Everyone thinks we are sinless and nice people and all. For the most part, we are nicer. But there are so many evil Christians it's disgusting.

(I left all this great space for cool pictures and I cannot think of a single picture to put in here!... Everything I am thinking of would be dumb just like every other Christian site..."Here is a huge bible!" Woo. Hoo.... I'll Keep Thinking...)
