Re: Interview with Wilyem

I was young and partied every night with many friends in Dallas Texas. I worked in a night club with movie stars who came in every night. I drank and partied every night and had many friends and girl friends. I had so much fun every day of my life. It was wonderful. I had a new sports car. I lived in the most exciting place in Dallas. I had so much money and nothing was out of my reach. I went to mexico to play on the weekends and traveled to other fun places. But, at night when I would lay on my bed I would be sad. Something was missing. I felt very lonely in my heart. I had everything I could want. But, still there was a hole in my being. I was afraid to die because the something I needed was ....God. I knew that He created me, but why? One night I was in much pain from drinking a lot. I thought..."what if I were to die tonight, where would I go?" . On the night stand by my bed was a Bible. I picked it up and began to read. It was very late and I was very tired and depressed. The book of Proverbs spoke of a "fool" and a "wise" man. I read it and kept seeing me only as the "fool". then I read the book of Luke. Jesus spoke a parable of a woman who swept her whole house looking for one lost coin. And then a man who went out to find one lost sheep out of a hundred. He found the sheep and the woman found the coin. Then, I realized the coin and the sheep is how God was seeing me. I got out of bed and got on my knees and ask God to save me from death. I told Him he could have my life. And I was so sad and sorry for the way I had lived my life unworthy of Him. Save me LORD and you can have my life. Never has anything in my life been the same since that night. He has lead me far away from that life. He really loves me and cares about every aspect of my life. The next morning I went to the refrigerator and poured out all my beer...my roommate I gave all my cigarettes. He gave me freedom from those things but also gave me a reason to live. Oh yeah, there was a lot of fun in all those years of partying and playing with girls....but, I am so much more happy and secure now. I wouldn't go back to those days for a trillion dollars and all the fame in the world.
