I got saved in 1984, thanks to a very godly man who did a VBS program, and

> children's shows one evening. After the show, we came home and I put the
> kids to bed. I had never given religion very much thought. I really didn't
> even know why I had signed my son up for the Christian program offered in
> his school, except that he wanted to go, and it sounded like fun for him.
