Bio : Hello, I am retired and my wife and I live in Florida. I've been a Christian my entire life but have enperienced periods of backsliding. A defining moment in my life came from a conversation I had with my fifteen year old grandson. During a particularily difficult time in his life, I attempted to share my faith with him. HIs response to me was, "How can Jesus help me now?" My brain locked up; I had no response. This incident devistated me. I bagan a two-year examination of the Bible to define my faith. The first Bible verse that convicted me was 1 Peter 3:15, "always be ready to give answers... concerning the hope that is in you." This process strengthened my faith and helped me find God's purpose for my life. I have written a book, Logan's Story (yet unpublished), that is about the walk of a Grandpa and Granson proving the existence of God. Additionally, I 've started a blog, PaulintheWord.com, that shares God's word and explores the more difficult teachings in the Bible. I hope to make connections with Christians throughout the world as well as reaching out to those we who are yet unsaved. God bless, Paul
