Legalism literally scared the hell out of me growing up so I gave up on "religion." Tried to follow suit by going to a Christian college in the midwest but it made me sick so I transfered to a state school. Truly began to follow Christ 4 years ago (at 20). Found myself in South Africa with some charismatic friends, some pretty sweet Calvinists back home, but mainly the streets of the slums in South Africa is where I found true worship. I am on staff at my dads church right now where God is using me. I consider myself to be non-denominational which is a big step..... Left the denom because I needed something more and dont agree with everything... plus they have a problem with my love of red wine.
