People Do Change (For Good)

My high school senior yearbook had a section at the end where the editors wrote a little “news article” about each student, imagining what their life would be like 10 years after graduation. Mine read like this: “His degree in chemistry has come in handy for his basement lab hallucinogenic experiments, while his band prepares for their next world tour after yet another chart-topping single, ‘Hey, Mr. Pharmacist.’”

That’s right. In the eyes of everyone who knew me at that time, my life was synonymous with rock-n-roll and illicit drugs.

You?!

When I reveal anything about that to people who know me now—which I don’t often do—they look at me wide-eyed and ask, “YOU?!” They’re speechless. It’s incomprehensible to them.

That’s the power and light of Jesus Christ.

So why am I sharing this now for the whole world to see? Because there is a serious purpose for it.

I was who I was. But now I am what I am because of the reality and power of Jesus Christ. I’m standing up for it. May God use me as a point of light, with all glory to his name.

Hope is Real

I want you to know that what I write about Christ is vivid to me and real.

Like 1 + 1 = 2.

Millions of people have been changed and are doing good things because of Christ. Their lives and their loved ones’ lives are truly being healed.

People change. They climb. They feel better. Through the grace of Jesus Christ and his lifting power, I am a confident recovering addict.

People do change—for good. They do climb. And they do feel better. They celebrate and praise God that they were even born. They celebrate the light of Jesus Christ in their lives.

His light can become our light.

His light is my light.
