Duane's Story

Life I was pretty much a stoner in high school. Took the easy way out a lot of the time & failed to live up to my potential:( June 17,1989 after some personal "wake up" calls and family disasters I was pretty much BURNT OUT on the whole party life! I went to church with my sister & TRULY gave my life to God. It was like a HUGE weight & dark cloud was LIFTED off me! I was radically different & my closest friends & family KNEW I'd been changed by Gods' Power & Grace! Over the last 15 years I've had lots of ups & downs, but God has never given up on me. I've had several different jobs from production work, HP, helping disabled people, BUT my main focus has always been on Music! Now I play guitar and sing, Have written several songs, but drums has always been my first love musically! My main goal & dream in life is to play professionally in a rockin', funky Christian band! To totally jam musically & be relevant to the people around us, without compromising a positive message that can encourage & help people to really feel & be closer to God! In the end we ALL die, so what then? It's DEFINITELY better to be safe than sorry! "Eternity is TOO long to be Wrong" My favorite scripture is Romans 10:13- "Whoever calls on The Name of The Lord WILL BE SAVED!" In the end thats really all that matters. To be forgiven & live in Gods' Awesome presence & enjoy t...Expand for more
he pleasures & treasures ONLY HE can give FOREVER! I haven't accomplished much in my life by "worldly standards". I don't have a lot & my life is pretty simple, but if I never accomplish the things I want to, or have the kind of Success & Life Partner I desire (God willing), I just hope ABOVE ALL THINGS that when I'm dead physically, He'll accept me into "HIS CRIB" which is Totally tricked out and AWESOME & BEAUTIFUL Beyond words!!! I hope that I can somehow enjoy His Best for me in BOTH worlds, But if not "forever happiness" is more important to me than what I have or achieve in this VERY SHORT lifetime! I've had some really Good times over the years, and some really hard times. I've had alot of regrets & wish I could DO OVER some wrong choices made along the way, But because of Gods' Mercy and Grace I Hope my best days are yet to come. "SHOUT OUT" to my homey Key Davis-one of my best friends in high school. I pray Gods' will prevails in your' life! I pray He'll set you free inside & out! Only God can RESTORE the years that have been stolen from you and make your' END BETTER than your' beginning! Here's to the "kickin" class of '89, and any of my old friends who remember me! I Hope ALL of our futures will be BRIGHTER than our pasts!!! God Bless, Duane :)
