What caused this change? I’m glad you asked. I will gladly share how my mind flipped a 180, then 360 by the grace of the Holy Spirit.     The date was July 19th. The city...Chicago, Illinois. The street...W Chicago Ave.  As I walked across W Chicago Ave onto the 800th block of Downtown Chicago, I trekked on what would be a pilgrimage for me... Moody Bible Institute . Why was I here?
