Every eye in the room went to the Bible and they looked at me. And I said, that's mine. And one of my friends said, you're reading the Bible? I said, yeah. And they said, oh, are we gonna be nice little Christians now and follow Jesus? I said, no, maybe I'll hit you in the mouth.

I hadn't read 1 Corinthians 13 or anything at that point. And so they all started mocking me. So it kind of helped me because I thought, these are not good people, and I don't need to hang around these people anymore. They made it easy to make a break with that crowd. So I thought, I'm going to give the Christians another try.

And I went back to their meetings and ended up at this church that was in the middle of a spiritual awakening called Calvary Chapel, filled, packed up with people of all ages, And then Chuck Smith, who I mentioned earlier, this older man who is the pastor, opened up the Bible, and suddenly this book came alive to me. And suddenly I found truth. I never had any absolute truth in my life.

I was just looking for something. I remember we're in school, and Ray Bradbury, the well-known author, came and spoke. And we thought, he's gonna give us truth. We were just looking for someone to give us some truth. And he didn't have anything for us. And all of a sudden I find that truth I've been looking for in the Bible. And so then you can't keep me away from the place.

So I was like a sponge wanting to make up for lost time and just absorbing these things. And then my life was changing. And it wasn't long after that that I started talking to people about this because I wanted to talk to people that were like I used to be, cynical, closed off. And I wanted to say, if God could change someone like me, he can change you too.

And fast forward 50 years, I'm effectively still doing the same thing.
