For me it was giving my life to Jesus Christ last spring. After pursuing every high and adrenaline rush since I was a kid, none of it moved me anymore at 58.
- I had cheated death more times by age 24 than most people do in their entire life. At my current age I began to realize that there is some other purpose, a mission while I'm still alive. I had also began to 'feel' that there is a higher calling, if you will.
Now, I'm more at peace. I've been moved from within to give back - time, money, other resources and my skills to those who are in need. Part of this is sharing my automotive / restoration / engineering skills with adolescent boys and young men from my church family.
You see, I've failed my only son when he was very young - and now as a 28 year old, has been in and out of jail. But there's still time to heal from that.
