I hope I haven’t ever given you the impression that, one day, I decided to give this Christian thing a try.

It wasn’t like that, at all.

I wasn’t really even looking for it.

In fact, if you had asked me, I probably would have told you, “Oh yeah, I’m a Christian.”

But really, I only had a couple of questions.

Why am I so depressed?

What does it mean to be born again?

Really, I figured I was a pretty good guy.

But, that was good enough, right?

Well, I wasn’t looking, I wasn’t that good, but I was grabbed, lifted, and changed. In a moment. Just like that.

Not depressed.

Born again.

I can take absolutely no credit.

But God is good.

So is this life.

I wish you could taste it, too.
