From the time I was five years old, I can remember trusting in the finished work of Christ's shed blood on the Cross and His Resurrection over sin and death. I had a sense a presence and knew I was never alone since early childhood. I trusted in that still small voice of the Holy Spirit to guide me. Sometimes I just chose to ignore it.
One of those instances where I chose to debate that voice was in April of 1983, around Easter. I was 19 years old. I was with my "friend", Roy, staying with him for the weekend.

As soon as we finished, I ran to the bathroom to douche with water. I always did that after I had sex with my ex-fiancé but I felt a warning not to do that this time. Out of habit, I did it anyway.
That summer, I moved to Key West, FL. I saw my first case of someone who had...
