    Ok, fair enough. I have always "known ".

    Pre-qual.

    Even as a very young child, there has never, ever been any doubt as to God. ( supernatural experiences )

    I accepted Christ into my life as young teen and was full emersion Baptized. ( Evangelical )

    My parents weren't " religious "or "churchies".

    I do not use drugs, did drink alcohol a bit in the Marines. but now I abstain.

    Due to career choice I have been intensely psychologically tested, written tests, interviews & lie detector, with a requirement of a retest every 6 months or one year depending on my assignment.

    I understand oxygen depravation on the brain, Nero pathways & chemical "firings of the brain, under duress. and have limited training in psychology

    IE: I'm hittin on all cylinders as it were.

    Now, in brief as it's yahoo.

    Due to two extremely violent acts upon my person I have had 2 NDE's where I was out of my body watching the events unfold.

    1 of which I was allowed to partially be on the " other side " as it were. There was another person with me that had the same exact experience, separate but as one, which is hard to explain.

    We were both revived by Med.

    It is very, very real. But without a common point of reference, or you having a similar experience I could post/talk all day long & you wouldn't understand.

    While I accepted Christ as a teen, I still acted like "I" was in control & wouldn't let Christ fully into my life. Did the Church thing, read some books once and awhile, but I was what is known as a Passive or "credit card" Christian.

    I entered & was Confirmed into the Catholic Faith later in life and I never looked back.

    While NOT required, I decided to fully consecrate my Life to Christ & the Holy Mother. That ,is when Christ fully manifested in my life including supernatural experiences.

    There is no way to explain the love that fills every pour, mind, body & Spirit if you are fortunate enough to do this.

    It is NOT, a belief, an ideology, or popular, following.

    I am free of doubt, worry and have a fullness of Spirit.

    You have to experience it for your self.

    P.S. Angels do not have "wings " I believe they were painted that way due to how they move around, they move & change location, without moving, that also is hard to explain.

    To the person who posted the blasphemous picture, on this page

    If you had any clue the power your mocking you would shudder in fear & drop prostrate on the ground & beg forgiveness.

    Be well

    At the church I grew up in I said the sinner's prayer and later was baptized at the age of 12. But went astray and needed a renewal, a rededication. Finally, after going through many ups and downs and confusion and insecurities, trauma and nightmares, I found the Lord by going to a Bible study that was totally amazing and prayer soaked. After 5 years of digging into the word through that, I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit at age 33. It would take a whole book to tell my whole testimony, but that is it in a nut shell.

    Well you know Cami, but I'll tell them. I was 21 yrs old and was at home by myself. I surrendered my heart and my life to Jesus Christ and have served him ever since. And that was over 30 years ago. Jesus is awesome. :)

    I became a christian when I was 7 and my mother took me to church and had me baptized. I didn't have much choice. I did however have a choice whenI stopped going and became atheist nearly 40 years later
