I got saved while in the Army. I was a complete atheist up to the instant that I was born again.

I had so much joy knowing that I was not an accidental product of evolution and that I had eternal life that I didn't really want to ask God for anything else. It was a month before I prayed to be taken out of Honduras and back home to my wife.

My point is, the joy of knowing God and the assurance of eternal life is more than any sinner deserves. It is a shame that people want more spiritual and material goodies in this life.

Even today I don't pray as much as many Christians except to give thanks for all the blessings I have.

Though I was not an atheist when I came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, I also rejoice in the joy of my salvation and find that the majority of my prayers are those of thanksgiving for His blessings and for the needs of others. I will never grow weary of praising Him!
