Have you ever fallen asleep in church? Before my big life change, for sure, but since I have been in the Word more, I find it much easier to stay engaged b/c it is actually interesting.

Now a few serious questions;
How is being a Christian changed your life?
Perspective on life’s problems are different. I know that no matter what comes my way, I can handle it as long as I rely on God’s guidance.

What is one of your favorite Bible verses? Psalm 119:9-11 - How can a man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Who has made the biggest impact in your spiritual life other than Christ?

What advice do you have for us about sharing your faith with others?
Try to do it in the same way you would want them to share a faith that is different then your own.

If you knew you would die today, what would you do on your last day on earth?
Spend it with my family for sure

How do you think we can live in the world, but not be of the world, especially in what you do? Love others at all times. That’s the hardest, but best thing to do.
