I know that I have not been a good Christian. There’s lot of sin in my life, and though I don’t know if I have the strength to stop it, I do know that the answer can be found in the Bible. Today I went to www.billygraham.org and rededicated my life to Christ. I don’t want to live like this anymore; I’m scared, and I don’t know what’s going to happen to me now, but I’m ready for a change. I need one. I’m writing today because I want to start reading the Bible again. I don’t even know where my Bible is - that’s how lost I’ve become in recent years. If anyone reads this and wants to join me - or offer advice on where to start and what to do—I would appreciate the help very much.
