Summary
SummaryβI was traveling 50 weeks a year, hiding a raging alcoholism until one night I literally shook my six-month-old son in his crib. The shame drove me to my wife, and she took me to my first AA meeting. I didnβt believe in God, but I prayed the Third-Step Prayer every day and the Serenity PrayerββGod, grant me the serenityβ¦ββand began to feel a power beyond myself. Over eight years He taught me through therapy, a punch-bag on my porch, and even the joy of my grandchildren. I almost walked out of my marriage with divorce papers in hand, but at the courthouse God stopped me. He used a simple Bible tapeβEcclesiastesβto show me lifeβs meaning is found only in Him. Today, 22 years later, I stand sober, married, and overflowing with His grace. ππ€β€οΈβ
Many times after shows, I get asked how Tami and I met. I wanted to share that story with you all along with how I found my relationship with God. Much blessings.
