In the Beginning
It was a cool fall day in October of 1991, when I first met Darryl. I had just returned from Germany after serving a two year tour, of which six months was served in Saudi Arabia Operation Desert Storm. Though I had not accepted Christ at the time, I felt a need and an urgency to find a church home in the area that I was living at the time. I had just been assigned to Ft Benning, located in Columbus, GA.
I had been separate from my three year old daughter, Brittanie, for two years and missed her dearly. I was eager to get my affairs in order so that I could go to North Carolina to get her where she had been living with my mother while I was away. Sometimes, just thinking about it gave me great anxiety, wondering if she would remember me. What had my mother told her about me? At that time in my life, my mother and I had a strained relationship.
