I heard about this site somewhere...I just can't remember where! But it definitely does give you that 'Myspace' feeling when you are in the site. But I figured I would try it out anyways and see what it is all about. The Music section looks interesting to me, so I will have to take a good look at it. Christian Rock music interests me....I'm pretty sure I will find some good groups there. I guess another part of me joining this site is to give more effort into 'reaffirming' my connection with Jesus Christ. For over 15 years I was ridiculed over being a Christian. Now, I am 32 years old, still face some ridicule, but my resolve to bring Christ into my life has never been stronger. I honestly believe sometimes that if I had stayed in connection with the Lord for the last 15 years, I would not be experiencing so many problems as I do now. I spent 2005-2006 in Afghanistan, upon returning I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. For the last 4 years, it has worsened, to the point to which I have developed Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia. But I have been thankful to have associated with good people who care with the strength to help me fight it. But the last 15 years made me think of a specific Bible verse that relates to my situation over the years gone by...
Psalm 31:1-2
(1) In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed:
deliver me in thy righteousness. (2) Bow down to me thine ear; deliver me speedily:
be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
And although I regret not listening to the WORD before, I have learned that reconnection with the LORD is bringing me out of the darkness. Through ridicule, through hardship, through pain, and suffering, I put my trust now in the LORD.
