A few years after college some friends invited he and his wife to attend a service at their church. The first couple of weeks He resisted taking in the teaching. At one service, his wife raised her hand as a profession of faith. They were all supposed to have their eyes closed, but somehow he knew when her hand went up. He spent the next week soul searching. On his way to work one day, He put in a DC talk CD from when He was a kid. By the time he arrived at work, He was in tears. He became a Christian at that time.
