Wow, new to this type of interaction.
Hi, I'm Cheryl accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior 9 years ago. Since then He has worked greatly in my life, even when I did not want Him to. God moved me up into a Supervisory position which required credentials that I did not have so I am presently working on my BA in Religious Studies. Which is what has brought me to this site, have a blogging requirement for my class... however have found this site to be full of many very wonderful areas and useful information in answering some questions that I have.
So beyond helping me fullfil a class requirement I am looking forward to seeking out a deeper understanding of Scripture through the forums that are within this site.
Presently I do not attend a church. I continue to attempt to find one without success. Unfortunately most of the churches I have visited have been cold and unwelcoming. I am an active member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association and waiting impatiently for this quarter of school to be done so that I can have the free time to be out there riding and ministering once again.
Praise God for giving people a gift like yours who are able to do this kind of work.
Thank you.

Hello Admin guy,
I read part of your bio.I went to Williamstown High School.The area where I grew up was almost in the jurisdiction of Delsea High School.(If I lived about 3/4 mile west of there, I would have attended Delsea High School.)My siblings still live near there.My sister lives in Sicklerville and my brother still lives in that part of Williamstown.This is my first posting on Crosswalk.May God bless you.

I'm new here. My name is Paul and this is my testimony. It's a bit dated now, but thought I would post it here for any who are interested. I hope it's in the right place.
Death should be seen as a reminder that our time on earth is limited and valuable, which should cause us to try harder to do something worthwhile in this life. But death can often be seen as an easy way out...a way to escape responsibility. Your debts are a mile high; the kids are a constant source of stress; your girlfriend or wife has left you; you were made redundant at work; you have lost the use of your body from the neck down; global warming is destroying the planet; and so on. It's easy to think, "What's the point of living? Why bother being part of the problem?" But I prefer to think that someone, somewhere in the world, is worse off than I am, and that I can contribute to making the world a better place. But I didn't always think this way.
Nothing Lasts Forever (Except God)
At about the same time that I realised how to reproduce myself (sex!), I also realised that I wasn't invincible. Once I became fully aware, as a teenager, that I was eventually going to die, I became depressed. This was because I knew that what I was doing was not making the world a better place. I have been obsessed with death ever since. But, despite becoming aware of this unavoidable truth, like so many others in the Western world, I continued taking drugs, getting blind drunk, sleeping around, and driving recklessly to impress friends. Teenagers are experts at ignoring what they already know, and living like they are never going to...
But let's back up. I first faced death when I was 15 years old. I almost drowned. Around the same time, my grandmother died and I was a pallbearer at her funeral. A close relative tried to kill herself with an overdose. Her attempted suicide was, however, never talked about in the family... just more evidence of everyone's inability to confront such realities. My school life was affected by the turmoil that I was going through, and I was getting into trouble with all forms of disciplinarians at school, at home and with the police.
Teenage suicide rates have increased in most of the developed world. I tried to go down the same path. I somehow got the idea that I wouldn't live until I was 21 years old. Since my life was heading toward death anyway, why shouldn't I just hasten the inevitable? The world had nothing to offer, and I had nothing to offer it, or at least so I thought. All this s*it, was going on inside of me. Who could I share it with? No one wanted to talk about such things. So I tried, unsuccessfully, to kill myself when I was 18 years old.
Having failed to take my life, I turned to searching for answers. My search began with me trying drugs to escape unpleasant realities. I also tried to be a good church goer (mostly on the Pentecostal side of the church world). I applied to join a Bible college and I wrote to the late Keith Green's 'Last Day Ministries' in Texas. The Hare Krishnas were also on my list of 'let's see what they have to offer'. I didn't want to leave one stone unturned. I was looking for meaning in my life.
Encounter with LIFE!
I was 20 years old when I came face to face with God. At that time, I was in a drug induced state. I was lying on the ground, unable to get up because of the drugs I had taken. It felt like I was falling into hell. I thought I heard an audible voice saying "Why do you want to keep hurting yourself?" Yes, why did I want to keep hurting myself? I should have seen that it was a clear sign to stop seeing death as a negative hurtful thing, and to get on with my life...i.e to stop hurting myself and help myself by helping others. But I didn't. It was three years later, after I had been through more drug sessions, had sex for the first time, and had other experiences that the school of hard knocks meted out to me, that I came to my senses.
It was my 21st year. I was quite introverted and didn't communicate with people very well in those days and some people thought I was crazy. My social skills had been damaged because I had been focusing my search for meaning entirely within my own feelings.
For three long years (after my encounter with God) I sought after a materialistic answer to life. I tried to get a "good" job, tried to find "finanicial stability" and I was about to go for further training in the management of a hostel I had been helping to run, when I realised that life was more than just the MATERIAL. I was about to go down a different road... that of gaining as much pleasure as I could...a life that most of my peers were going down, or at least HAD been down.
I compared my two options (materialism or hedonism) with the teachings that had been presented to me in the teachings of Jesus. I had been trying to work out, despite having a mixed up mind, where these teachings were coming from and where they were going. I decided to give what Jesus was on about a try.
A Reason for Living
I started to try and live out what it meant to be full on for God with other Christians.
So what had happened since my last encounter with death? I had found a purpose for living. I had found that we are put on this earth to love God and to love others; and until we throw ourselves totally into that mission, we will never be truly satisfied.
Each of us needs to discover purpose in life, but bitter experience in the school of hard knocks doesn't have to be part of it!
I am now 39 years old and nearing a time in my life called "mid-life crisis". I have lived half of my life (according to average statistics) and am now looking forward to newer and better things for the next 39 years (or whatever is alloted to me).
Only one life, 't will soon be past,
Only what's done for love will last!

Hi, I've been looking at this website for a day or two now and thought i'd join in. I'm from buffalo, ny and I've been saved since I was 16. Things went downhill after I started college and I wasnt following Christ like I should have been. So here I am in my late 20's and I have a son and am a single mom.
