Adoption

Im adopted myself and glad that i was raised in the church growing up, mostly by my grandparents. Once as my dad's mom passed away we stopped going to church. I found myself back in church while dating a girlfriend. After I stopped going to college with her at SIU. I came back home and was going down to visit her every other weekend and was also engaged somewhat...lol! Till i walked in on her and the new boyfriend in bed. Walked out called up my best friend, went out and spent 3.5yrs drinking myself under. Went out to CA in 2005 met my friends and pastors in the pro skate scene their. Saw what they had: solid marriage's, relationships, church and just a solid fellowship! Everything that i've always wanted but felt like there was nothing during those times when i was down and under. Can't say I ever hit rock bottom but meeting them was an eye opener for me. They recently started a christian outreach reality show. www.steelroots.com/theuprising
Theres some cool stuff in there. The outreach isn't just towards fellow skateboarders but everyone. Check it out.

Oh yeah and if and when i have my own family, I am going to raise them in the church! Because when I wasn't there boy did things get ugly for me!

God Bless,
