Randy's Story
This must be the part where you're expected to tell everyone what a successful life you've led, how important and wealthy you are and all that. Sorry to disappoint, but that's not going to happen. I will tell you about my personal success in a few words, but probably not what you'd have expected.
Here's my short story. I'm what's known as a "prodigal son". In 2006, I finally became sufficiently humbled to realize that I'm not "all that", and thankfully God accepted me back into the fold as promised, thanks to my repentance and my renewed faith in Christ.
