    Came out as saved today

    I finally picked up the courage today to tell someone I've been saved by Jesus. After being told by a pastor on Good Friday of accepting my transition from Catholic to (born again) Christian it took me only four days to properly tell someone. My seed is sown, I'm not going back!
