My name is Chris Becker, I'm 49 years old, from California, but currently living in Flood City 2008 (Cedar Rapids.) I come from a Pentecostal background, largely Foursquare and A/G, but spent my high school years in a UPC church and school in San Francisco. I'm still proud of my Apostolic roots, but I haven't attended an Apostolic church since the 1970s. It's kinda hard to explain.

I miss the good old days (or at least MY good old days) of Pentecost. I miss the music. I'm sick of all these Integrity! Hosanna and Hillsong praise and worship choruses. I want to hear a worship leader sing Are You Washed in The Blood with a hard Pentecostal 4/4 beat. I miss Sisters with dresses and no make-up, and beehive hairdos. I miss people showing up to church with a Bible in one hand, and a tambourine in the other. Guess I may have to take a road trip to St Louis or Chicago to visit my good friends Richie and Dennis Mostyn.
