In hindsight, Vietnam was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was religious when I went to Vietnam. For the 13 months I was there, I studied the Word all day long. When I came back, I wasn’t religious anymore. My theology had changed. I got hold of the grace of God and wasn’t trying to fulfill religious duties to make myself worthy of God’s love anymore. Vietnam was my Bible school; it was a good deal for me.
