And then what happened is as many of you know, I had a sort
of a conversion experience when I was 20 and I realized, oh gosh,
dang, I do believe in God. This is real that I believe in God. And in fact, I
think I'm Christian. I do believe in Jesus. And from the moment that that
happened, I felt this sort of need to prove some things.
From the moment that I was called back into my faith, I felt the need to prove myself. In my case, I didn't feel the need to prove
to other Christians that I was Christian.
In my case, I needed, I felt the need to prove to my friends and those
who knew me for the last few years that just because I was Christian didn't
mean I was all of a sudden going to become a jerk. It was really important to me. I wanted people to know that
even though I believed in this Jesus guy and I was in on
this, I was very concerned and wanted to prove to my friends that this
wouldn't change the way that I loved them and hopefully it wouldn't change the
way that they loved me.
