@FOUND SOUL,
No, I was married to my first wife when I was 17, we had 5 children together and experienced 5 churches together.
My previous wife had a threatened miscarriage while she was carrying our firstborn son. During the drive to the hospital I told God, if he would let my son live, I would serve him and my family would serve him.
A couple years later I had a fight with my X, (not physical), got very angry and drunk and threatened to kill my best friend with a brandy bottle, who was trying to help me. That was on a Friday night, that following Sunday morning, I showed up at a co-workers house who had been witnessing to me about Jesus, with a Bible in my hand ready to go to church.
That Sunday I had the "Salvation experience". I began my walk of Christianity at that church and I told God, "God, you put me in this Church and I will remain with this Church until you move me somewhere else". At the time I didn't know why I said that.
I began working with, and became friends with this guy who went to a church that operated in the "Gifts of the Spirit", his wife had the "gift of prophesy", and I gravitated to what I believed to be a "greater light".
While I was a part of this church "Family", my friend who was friends with another pastor, showed me what that church taught about water baptism in the name of Jesus, and the oneness of the "Godhead". I studied up on the subject and once again gravitated toward what I believed to be a "greater light".
**** happened, and I gravitated to another pastor and church family that seemed to have, again, "greater light". By now we believed in "Holiness", my X only wore dresses and we didn't have a television for 6 years.
My X used to bitch about the Holiness life stile, and accused me of forcing it on her. I would tell her I was following God the way I knew, If she wasn't doing it for God I didn't want her to do it for me. Later I told her I no longer believed it was necessary, but she continued to do so for the sake of the church.
I help build them a church, and became Home Bible Study Director, Prophesy teacher and head of their tape ministry, I have never been a Preacher.
One Saturday morning we had a men's prayer meeting, and we were going to look at a building for our church. I was caught up in the Spirit of prayer, and I didn't know my Brothers had left, looked at the building and returned and I was still in the spirit of prayer.
I don't remember all that I prayed, but I do know I said, "God I want to know the height of you, the width of you, and the breadth of you, and I want to die and you live in me.
The years have brought me to that point, I am glad to say.
**** happened, we saw through the ****, and we moved on. Then we found a Church family that was not judgmental, most of its' members where from other churches that treated them wrongly. This church really new how to worship and was gifted with the most amazing music talent.
We were happy there, and I had faith in this church, but by now we were drinking wine at home and we became good friends with an Elvis impersonator and DJ.
We began going to his shows and hanging out with him and his wife and gradually moved back into the party life stile. They introduced us to the King of Clubs, a biker bar with a great band, that mixed it up with country music and old school Rock n Role. I bought me a Harley and we had a whole new group of friends, life became a party again.
My X still talked about how I had chains on her while we where in the churches. I told God I didn't want to have chains on anyone and I began following her and her desires.
One night my X and all of our friends were away from the table and I was left alone with my beer. I was contemplating about God and how all the church people saw me as a backslider Christian, but I knew I was teaching more people about God and prophesy in the bars than I was in the churches and I knew God was still with me.
I finally told God I didn't understand it, and he would have to explain it to me. From within he explained things the way it was and told me I was fine and to just be patient, this is where I was supposed to be for now.
This situation evolved into my X and I enjoying the company of others on the dance floor and her finding a boyfriend and bringing him to the club with us. My X hooked me up with Lisa, she wanted me to have a girlfriend. I learned my X didn't love me the way I love her and I fell in love with Lisa.
Divorced and remarried, I knew Lisa and I complete each other, when we were married I vowed death would not part us, and we will be together forever.
Time does not permit me to tell the rest of the story now, but I understand what it all is about, and I found what true light and God is all about.
And yes, Lisa was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease when she was 26, she was 37 when we met.
Through the years of the churches, I knew God had a special destiny for me but I didn't know what it was, and I knew there was light before me but I didn't know where it was leading me. Lisa was my destiny, when I found her, God led me to true light and understanding.
But you still don't know the rest of the story.
with GOD 
through your ANGEL, 
which is WITHIN, 
which is WITHOUT. 
along with the rest of my life that was.
