I grew up in a Christian household so I heard about Jesus but never knew him. I never wanted to get a chance to know him. I would go to church and hear about how great Jesus is and the many things that he can do.

I didn’t know anything about him and the feeling of sitting in a class while the teacher is talking about someone I didn’t know but heard of was coarse. There I started to…

So on my tenth birthday at Dave & Busters I wandered over to this fairly large machine in the back corner of the arcade. When I pulled open the…
