I came from a strong scientific background developed from a love of books and avidly socialist parents (who sent me to Sunday school and an Anglican high school). I was saved in 2005 on September 18. I'd attended church with the woman who is now my wife - I knew (!) there was nothing in it and went along just because it was a major part of her life. Nothing prepared me for the stark difference between what went on and the bland, stuffy, rehearsed services of my childhood. I was upset at the outpouring of raw love during the worship, knowing that I could never share it. After the service I just wanted to rush out to the car before anyone saw me bawling. I explained my feelings to Merrilyn and that I was jealous. She explained to me how to let Jesus into my heart and I became as a four-year-old. Straigtway I wanted to go back into the church to pray (what came naturally at the time and I now know to be the sinners' prayer). I'm still growing in my faith and walk with the Lord. My home church is Gateway Baptist in Brisbane, Australia. I'm head-over-heels in love with and married to Merrilyn, praise Him. We have a baby daughter - Mary - born on November 12th 2008.
