Julius Erving ["Dr. J"]

"I'm often asked what I consider my greatest highlight or most out standing perfomance.
Usually I'm able to come up with quick answers, sometimes humorous. But what I'm going to share now is from my heart.
At age 29 I realized I was looking good on the outside, but was hitting a lot of peaks and valleys on the inside. After searching for the meaning of life for over ten years, I found the meaning in Jesus Christ.
When I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I began to understand my true purpose for being here. It's not to go through life and experience as many things as you possibly can and then turn to dust and be no more. The purpose of life is to be found through having Christ in your life, and understanding what His plan is, and following that plan.
My Christian faith has helped me put my priorities in order. If I put God number one and my family after that, along with my social existence and my job, I can withstand any attack or criticism.
Since I asked Christ to be my Lord and Savior, there are still some peaks and valleys. But I am being operated on by the greatest Doctor of them all, so the glory goes to Him."
