Toward the end of 2004, all sorts of weird stuff started happening to me. I ran into the guy who I had done speed with after the Untouchables tour, and after talking for a while, I found out he was now totally clean and living for Christ too. He invited me to go to church with him, but I didn’t go.

Then I ran into an old friend named Bill who I’d known when I was a teenager. Back then, Bill was a wild punk rocker who used to go to all the same parties I did and always seemed to get into fights. But now things were different. He too had become a Christian, and he started telling me about God. The whole thing just felt too weird, though, and I freaked out on him, calling him a Bible banger, and told him to leave me alone.

In addition to these run-ins, one of my neighbors, a mother whose daughter was friends with Jennea, started to ask me if I wanted to go to church with her family. I never took them up on the offer, but it seemed to fit the pattern that had been developing. The whole thing was so unexpected. Where was all this coming from? Why, all of a sudden, were all these people trying to talk about Jesus with me?

Then there was my own daughter. My aunt Deia and uncle Tim had started taking Jennea to their church every now and then, and as a result, Jennea had started to ask me questions about God and Jesus. Questions I didn’t have the answers for. When she would ask, I would just point to the sky and tell her that God was too big and far away for anyone to understand anything about him. I felt stupid for not being able to give her a better answer, and I got angry with myself for not knowing more about how to respond.

Everywhere I went, I ran into someone who wanted to bring up Jesus—this time the signs were becoming inescapable. And the whole time, I was still thinking about the final choice I had to make, but all that thinking still did not bring me any closer to a decision.
