I'm Dave from Oregon WI. Short testimony:
After getting out of the Navy in 1975, I became a chronic alcoholic. The Lord helped me to find sobriety via AA in 1982, and then led me to watch the 700 Club with Pat Robertson. That same year I prayed a "sinner's prayer" with Mr. Robertson, and asked Jesus to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I grew up Roman Catholic, so one of my favorite verses is Eph 2:8-9, which helped me to understand it's all about faith and grace, not works. Luke 4:18/Isaiah 61:1 is also a favorite: "...to set at liberty they that are bruised..."; I was one bruised 'fella.
I am retired from the Wisconsin Dept of Transportation (technology and computing), and currently working part-time for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA in Madison WI.
My primary reason for registering with a Christian forum is to seek advice on an e-reader device, e.g. Kindle, etc, to be used as an electronic bible and concordance. I noticed your forum has a technology section.
Blessings,
Dave
