    I will be using this blog as a repository of stuff I experienced as a child growing up in the Pentecostal church. I've a few memories from the time that I'd like to get off my chest so to speak.

    Some topics I plan to cover include:
    1) Learning to speak in tongues

    4) Getting slain in the spirit as a child
    5) Insane stories told in church
