Here is my video Testimony that was shown today at Trinity Evangelical Free Church in Redlands California.

Ross, I really enjoyed that, in a way it was like meeting you.

I was struck by some of the things you said, this being one.

You said, "I was a baby Christian after thinking I was a Christian for 25 year's."

If you tell many formers this, they get their dander up, I think because of pride,I don't know for sure why this is though, it could be something else.

I suppose they think they are expected to have all the answers.

Another thing you said was that you had never had a desert experience that was bad. Me neither although I will tell you they were rougher than a cob.

Your honesty surely did bless me.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

I watched all of the desert journey videos I could find, I related with Adam Raymond as he told his story. The alcohol, the drugs.

There are as many varied desert experiences as probably there are desert plants.

Yes I agree I learn from each that has been presented. Funny being in a desert experience learning from the desert experiences of others.

As you probably noticed I cannot sit still for all the money in the freaking world.

Ha!! Yeah, I noticed, but Ross, you are a lovely man of God, so don't worry about it, you did fine man, just fine!

You would feel really good about yourself if you ever saw me stumble around when called on to preach before a crowd. I am self conscious and shy to the point of pain.

I cried yesterday when I watched your interview in church. God gives everyone who is born again a job to do; you were speaking His truth, Ross. Thank you.

You're welcome Nowisee and Colleen.

At church when it came on the couple seated to my right looked from the screen to me and back to the screen and back to me...and the lady whispered:

"Is that you?"

I nodded, because I didn't trust myself to speak.

Is it strange to say my testimony was great and helpful to me too?

Afterwards a number of people came up and thanked me for my testimony.

I really want to get a hold of the other 40 odd minutes and try and get some more of it online. It was full of gold.

If not I really want to record more videos of my faith journey myself.
