Mark's Story
Life
A lot has happened to me since I saw you all. I still remember the night of our graduation and the following reception at Fred Pruter's house. Shortly after graduation I found Christ. After all the years of religious upbringing... by God's mercy, I finally found out that Christ was not a religion, but a wonderful person. As undeserving as I am, I discovered more and more just how rich and real He is and just how available and applicable He is. To know Him is to love Him.
While I am still growing closer to the Lord, He has had to rescue me from many of my silly and foolish choices. I must say that through it all, He is a kind and merciful God.

I took my first job in Dallas working as an Optometrist at a Lenscrafter. But the weather was too cold for my wife. (She's from Brazil)So
I looked for opportunities further south and I found one at TSO in Beaumont, Texas. But after about 4 years of working as an associate doctor, I felt that I really wanted to have my own practice, so I leased an office next to a brand new Lenscrafters that was opening up at Parkdale Mall here in Beaumont. If any of you are ever in town, please stop by my office around noon and introduce yourself and I'll take you to lunch.
