have you ever had God speak to you during the
most cacophonous opportunity? Last night
after work while the lawn mower was running,
the music blaring in my headphones as loud
as possible to cover the noise of lawnmower... God
Spoke.. and he told me i've never shared by conversion to Christ.
So here some back ground, mom and dad chose me to represent the
family at church....and didn't dig church at all, most of the girls
at group were snobs, so i didn't like Christians, and
to top it off this was the TV era of the endless screaming, rolex
wearing, powder blue tuxedo wearing preachers...
and one more thing -- when i was little boy around 5,
I encountered a TV show with a grinning sun and a haunting
soundtrack and it freaked me out bad! and every night
since i was 5 then it was haunting me in my dreams... then when I
turned seven one night it morphed into a grinning
moon... so now with a grinning sun and grinning moon and the
haunting melody with dreams
being either night or day.. I was terrified
going to bed
fast forward to me being 19 hanging at my friends
house, and his mom asking if i was
christian, I said i went to church, she said that
wouldn't cut it, and told me about jesus and asked I like to accept
into my heart... as i was walking to the couch to pray the voices
inside my head screaming at me, don't do it..don't do
it do you wanna be a clone?
you going to become a freak and walk and talk and
carry a bible all the time like these
other weirdos with that stupid look on your
face! your being BRAINWASHed ! and all this noise was going
on continuously as harolds mom was praying
with me the prayer of salvation...
the pivotal moment that changed my life
forever...I remember asking God, silently If your
real...please take away the nightmares! then i felt someone putting
a ring on my right ring finger... after the prayer, the voice in my
head still screamed weirdo, .. but to this day, since praying the
prayer of salvation-- I have never had the grinning sun, moon, or
haunting melody invade me dreams or ... my reality!
