Growing up in Pennsylvania, my grandmother raised me to go to church. I did all the normal Christian things like go to Sunday school, sing in the choir and participate in our group of junior missionaries. Obviously, by the time I got to college, I knew who God was.

I didn't really recognize Christ as my Lord and Savior or have a personal relationship with Him.
