Faith has accompanied me through my whole life. When I was 17, I was suddenly hurled through the universe on an LSD trip, into a realm of hell. And then I remembered that you can call on God for help. Through that I got out of my body and into a dimension where I stood face to face with the most beautiful, the most beloved, Jesus Christ. That was my baptism by fire, in the Spirit.
