The Stained Glass Window

Give me a pill and I'll feel better. Give me a drink so I'll forget. Give me a cig. It'll help my nerves. Ugh! I can hardly take a breath. Let me have sex, I need someone to love me. As a matter of fact, I can't get enough. What is your name? Oh, yes. I remember! Could you pass me my pills so I'll forget... and don't forget a drink to wash them down! -Excerpt from the play Get Nailed At thirty-nine years old, I raised my hand to heaven and said, 'If You are really real, You are going to have to help me because I don't want to live like this anymore, and I will be damned to hell if my daughter's life is going to end up like mine.' And then sealing my fate I added, 'Give me a hunger and thirst for your Word that I cannot satiate with anything else but You.' After years of walking through life alone, I suddenly found a real Savior. I poured myself into my relationship with him, and my life began to turn around. I discovered a world, within this world, and all I had to do was enter through the cross in The Stained Glass Window. I was the lost sheep he left the ninety-nine for. The Stained Glass Window recounts the details of my life before and after I came to know Christ. See how important you are to God regardless of any poor choices you've made. Realize that you are the one in the stained glass window.
