Rick Derringer's testimony
As written by Rick Derringer
I went to Catholic school through the eighth grade. They taught me many good things. They told me I could go to the confessional and ask for forgiveness. Most often the priest would tell me to say six "Our Fathers" and six "Hail Marys" for the repentance of my sins. But he didn't stress that I shouldn't sin in the first place, and he didn't encourage me to say thank you to the Lord!
In 1962, I began secular public high school and started a "garage band" called The McCoys. That's also the year I started thinking less about the Lord.

Lead singer of the band Flyleaf, Lacey Mosley, tells her amazing story of grace and healing
Mosley, born in Texas, 1981, grew up in a fatherless household with 5 siblings, leading to a tumultuous life of drugs, anger and depression. When a fight she had with her mother led to the police being called, teenaged Mosley was forced to move out and live with her grandparents in Mississippi.
Completely cut off from her old life, she hit rock bottom, beginning plans for suicide. Mosley's grandmother saw the girl's distress and pleaded for her to attend church. That first church service changed Mosley's life forever.
