Rick O's Profile:

I am a 28 year old man, saved by the grace of God. I grew up in a Christian home and always have known right from wrong, yet when I became a teenager I ran as far away from God as fast as I possibly could. I came back to the Lord, or rather He let me suffer the consequences of my poor choices, after a 10 year battle with drugs and alcohol. I am so grateful that God has spared my mind and that He has given me a gift to write, even being able to minister to the guys I was in rehab with with my poetry. God is in the business of restoration and I thank Him for restoring me physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. He has even restore the relationship I have with my beautiful daughter, Savannah, who I am seen with in the picture. All praise and honor to Him, who stands at the door and knocks, waiting for us to allow Him entrance into our lives, when He's more than powerful enough to make His entrance at anytime. My favorite passage is Phillipians 3:12-14 where Paul writes that he hasn't already achieved perfection but he concentrates on one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead he presses on to reach the goal of the upward call in Christ. If we constantly live in the past, either relishing over past accomplishments or regretting past failures, we are going nowhere in the present. It's like driving a car: If you keep looking at where you've been (the rear-view mirror), you'll crash! Look at what lies ahead and learn from the past!
