My story is not the story of a dramatic external transformation.  I was born into the church.  Although I do not remember it, I am told that I was at church less than a week after I was born.  I was brought up in Sunday School.  I know all the books of the Bible; forwards and backwards. I know most, if not all, of the big Bible stories and can probably act them out.  I have attended church regularly for almost 39 years.  I am a good person.  People like me.  That makes me a Christian, right?  The truth is that you can't earn your way into heaven.  There isn't a certain number of scriptures that you must recite at the pearly gates to get in.  The doors of heaven aren't thrown open because more people like you than dislike you.  You get in to heaven because Jesus walks through the gates with you, arm in arm as your friend.  That is how I want to live each day of my life…with Jesus as my best friend...sharing everything...hiding nothing. That is my Passion story.
