Before Christ
In one sense my “story” is
all about trying to “make it through works”. I spent the majority of my life thinking
that the major goal in life was “success” ... and that one could
“achieve” this and all goals through hard work and maybe some luck. This success, measured primarily through
financial means, could make (or, at least allow, one to be “happy”). Words like “Grace”, “Salvation”, &
“Faith” did not come up as a useful term in my vocabulary. While the love within my family was important,
that was never quite enough for the “success driven life”.
