[Steve Hoog]

I just got a PM from someone and I would like to answer this in public view.

I was raised in a Christian family and started off to Church at an early age. As probably with many of us; as a young adult I thought I knew it all and could make it on my own strength. As my life went on and I had some problems I found out I was not Superman and eventually came crawling back to God asking for help out of the jam; until at some point I realized I was nothing and started reaching to God from the begin of any given problem instead of at the end of the problem.

My Baptist Church that I was a member of closed it's doors last year; I dearly loved that Church and my heart was broken, so me and my wife are now visiting potential new Churches or traveling to our backup Church down by Warner. This Church by Warner is my favorite but it's a serious drive; Gary has visited me there where I was baptized in an old fashion dunk tank the weekend before my major surgery. I was already baptized as a child but felt in my heart I wanted to do it as an adult and with clear understanding.

So there you have it! And I very much appreciate any prayers that you say in my behalf.

Thank you sir.
