the Lord . Pastor preached on the love of Christ at the cross and I had a real conviction of my sinful state and by then I knew I had offended a Holy God . I had by then messed with the occult and gotten involved with spiritual stuff that I knew through my conscience I shouldn ’ t have gone near but I wanted answers about my parent ’ s past and I was too scared to ask them .
Note to parents - If at all possible be open and honest with your children about who you are and what your history is .
