Someone at my
church encouraged me to go for it if I was still interested in it, which after
all this time I still was. He told me it's never too late to learn.
I almost thought it was since I was already 31, I think, at the time. I
was pushed (not really) behind the drums at church and became part of the
worship band. I've been playing ever since and it's been a blast.
This is the third band I've been in and it's all been a great
experience. All of us in F.O.G. are excited to see how God is going to
use us.
I've been a Christian for 12 years and it
was a direct result from music - and some nagging from my little sister. I
saw this awesome Christian band, Sacred Warrior, while sitting in a bar,
drinking. I thought to myself, "This is a Christian metal band?" How
could Christian music be this good? YOu can be a Christian and still have
fun? Well, God was weening me from alcohol during this exact time and I
quit sometime soon thereafter. My sister was also nagging me to come to
church with her around that same time. One day she came down to my room
and listed a bunch of reasons why I should come check out church. One
being that the drummer for Sacred Warrior was also the drummer in the worship
band. Another was that she really needed a ride that Sunday. I got
so tired of her asking me that I finally went and I've been going ever
since.
I've been married to my wonderful wife, Lucie, for
11 years now and God has blessed us with four great kids, all of them being five
years old and under. Hectic, you say? You have no idea, but I
wouldn't trade them in for nothing. Give the Lord a shot if you
haven't already. You'll never be the same again...and that's a good
thing!
