Patrick Shea
On a summer Friday in 2012, Patrick awoke at three-thirty in the morning. Half of his body lay on the road, the other half on the curb. Flesh was torn from his elbows, forearms, knees and shins. A recent nasty divorce had caused Patrick to lose everything and sent him into a deep depression and to ease his sorrow he had ended up at a corner bar. After crawling home, Pat said to himself, “Enough is enough. Things have got to change.”. Sometime later Pat remembered he had a Bible been given at his brother’s funeral which had been sitting unused for twenty-five years. Pat started reading. After reading almost half of the Old Testament, Pat gave his life to Jesus, started attending church with a few friends, enrolled in a New Believers class and was baptized in water.
