I quickly turned to alcohol and then drugs to calm my hurt, if only temporarily, and this was the beginning of a monstrous life. I tried to kill myself in 1987, where I drank until I could not stand and I got behind the wheel of a car, getting into an accident that caused me a fractured nose, leg, jawbone, and I lost about 60% use of my left arm. But this did not stop me, I kept on going on a disastrous path. Until one day I heard a pastor on the radio that really caught my attention, and even though my reaction was not immediate I decided to visit the Church he was pastoring, Calvary Chapel, I knew God was calling but I did not know how to answer, all I was taught was religion but not how to have a personal relationship with the Creator. Three years ago I gave my life to Christ and have been writing and singing only for him.
