My (spiritual) roots

As a personal exercise for me, I am going to write about my spiritual roots. Thinking it over in my head, I figure that I have three phases in my walk as a follower of Christ, and they are as follows:

1) "Christian" - 5 to 14
2) Follower of Christ - 15 to 20
3) Pilgrim/Ragamuffin - 21...

In the following 3 blogs (albeit, I may blog about something else in between) I will write step by step what that particular phase of being a follower of Christ was like for me, what shaped me, what aided in the growing of my spiritual roots.
