Holyhotrod's 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe

I was never what I would consider to be a bad guy. I grew up Catholic, didn't cheat on my taxes, I'm an Eagle Scout, never did drugs, wasn't an alcoholic and never killed anyone but I believed that my salvation depended on Jesus PLUS my own good works. I always tried to do things my own way and didn't consult the Lord before hand (in fact, it was usually only in times of crisis). My marriage was not all that great and I shared leadership more often than healthy with my wife but I was too proud to admit that there were any substantial issues (in fact, our relationship had been eroding gradually over 10 years). I had issues with anger and selfishness but I always thought that I could control my impulses. However, I was searching for something more and the Catholic church could not supply it. My wife discovered Fairhaven Bible Chapel in San Leandro, CA and I began attending Sunday school and church there. My wife and I began a Bible study with a Christian couple from the class and three months later on Easter of 2003, I finally submitted to the Lord Jesus. I realized that only His blood would save me from eternal damnation. My works were like filthy rags. Soon after, I was filled with more peace than I had ever experienced and my anger began to subside. Additionally, my focus on material things diminished as well (it continues to). I began sharing time with the Lord daily and cherish the personal relationship I have with Him today. I've learned to be more thankful than ever of the blessings He has given me and have even come to accept my trials as blessings. Our God is a GREAT God! Praise the Lord, Jesus Christ whose death, burial and resurrection are the only things that have put me on the drag strip to heaven!!!
