In 1995 I began taking notes during our church services following the advice of our pastor, Chris Vigil. I found I was able to remember more of each message and if I didnÕt I had a reference point. In 2006 I began transcribing my notes on the computer and realized how helpful they were to me even after several years. I believe that these notes will also be very helpful to my readers and will also help form their lives as they have mine.
