While he claims his salvation came as a young man, he acknowledges that it wasn't until December 26, 2005 that he allowed Jesus to take control of his life. At that time, he began to realize there is more to salvation than Heaven. It was time to live for Jesus here on earth. [You can contact him on Facebook at tapintogodslove.] Read More Read Less
