Hi all,
Well, I'm back.
It's been a while. Super concise catchup:
As most of you know, I have now gone through a divorce (a biblically justified divorce).
Basically, after four years of deliverance and joy-filled discipleship I completely backslid for over a year. I completely turned away from God and back to drugs, alcohol and a life of sin with a vengeance.
As of three months ago, (after some months of resisting Him), through the infinite Grace and Mercy of our Lord, I have repented of this madness and come back into His family. I gotta say, it's like I never left!! He is a truly merciful and truly great God!!
During this time I met a woman. We lived in complete sin together but are now married, (our first step of repentance), and committed to serving Jesus as husband and wife.
Love you guys. Looking forward to getting back into the word with you.
