Q: How did you come to know the Lord?
A: My parents carried me to church for as long as I can remember. I was saved when I was 12 years old.
Q: How have you been involved in church through the years?
A: I have done a little of everything in the church. I used to teach children. I played the organ for about 11 or 12 years.
Q: How have churches changed over the years?
A: When I was a child, we just sang gospel hymns. There is a lot of praise music now. I like the gospel hymns more because that’s what I was raised on.
Q: How do you see yourself involved in church in the future?
A: As long as I am able, I will do whatever I can.
Q: What difference has being a Christian made in your life?
A: I don’t know anything else. I don’t know how anyone could not be a Christian. To me, that’s life. The Lord blesses me with everything I do.
