"I was born a city kid. I was born in Houston, Texas. Concrete was my desert. Skyscrapers were my mountains. Cars were my bears. Streetlights were my trees. Church was a building. God was a guy with a white beard. My Texas 'wild west' was not wild at all. It wasn't until my parents rooted me deep into God's wonderful creation that I truly experienced Him. The streets turned to streams. The haze turned to stars. The noise turned to songbirds. Church became a family. And the emptiness was filled with God. I'll always be a Texan at heart, but the fabled 'Texas wild west' had been found; not in Houston, but in the Lord." - Matt Hare
