WHOA ! Where to begin...I Thank God 1st for sendin...

WHOA ! Where to begin...I Thank God 1st for sending the Holy Spirit into my Jail cell at Orange County Jail, July 7th, 1991to show me His Son Jesus Christ and knowing that I would be at the end of my self centered decent into hell and finally willing to accept His free offer of forgiveness for my sin of unbelief. Released ??!!! the very next morning, I called my sister who attended CCCM and relayed what had happened to me and she invited me to go with her the next Sunday, where God introduced me to Pastor Chuck Smith who I sat under every Sunday learning the Word of God, as well as numerous mid-week Bible's studies, Easter, Christmas, Men's Conferences, Murrieta work crews,etc...for 23 years until Chuck moved home to Heaven. I am a flawed human being who is being sanctified by God through being in the Word, in prayer and fellowship from the place where God planted me to become the man that He has called me to be, here at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa that is filled with sinners like me who do and don't avail themselves of God's abundant blessings here! Trust God, lose your stinking thinking, listen to the guideing of your heart for Him and straighten out your crooked path while you enjoy the abundant Life of joy eternal while being strengthened to resist the acusations of the evil one who will try to steal your peace. I thank God again and again for Calvary Chapel, my home church!
