Mark's Story
Life
Hello fellow classmates,
I thought I would write some things about my life and get somethings off my chest. In high school I was a pothead. I always had weed and sold weed. It seems as if high school was a big blur to me. Oh ya I had my friends and we had some good times but a lot of years were wasted sitting around smokin weed and drinking beer. Even so I did play football and wrestle and stayed in shape. I guess that kept me from being totally messed up. After high school I was still drinking and doing drugs but slowed down enough to get married and have 2 daughters. My wife and kids meant the world to me but I still chose to do the things I used to do. UNTILL September 5th of 1999. I was searching for a change. I was doing an inventory of my life and was not satisfied with my performance as a husband and a father. I would be seen sometimes by my daughters on Saturday mornings with ugly hangovers. My wife was fed up...Expand for more
with my hanging out at the College Lane with my friends and not coming home till after 2. I will cut to the chase. I could not change on my own. I was talked into going to a church on sept 5th of 1999. There I gave all authority of my life over to the one who died for me, Jesus Christ!!
I was not brought up Christian so I knew nothing about God. I promised Him I would study the Bible to get to know Him better. My life could not be better now. I no longer drink. I am a better husband and father. I dont do any drugs. I study the bible daily. Dont get me wrong, I am not bragging. I just know that I am a messed up sinner and can do nothing without Christ. He gets all the glory. I would like to apoligize to all those I wronged in my younger days. To those I may of influenced to go in the wrong direction. I pray that all who read this have or will find this peace that I enjoy today.
May God bless you and keep you,
Mark Van Arsdale
