Vern Mac Thogmartin

Because of gathering a rather infamous past, I changed my name to Paul Alan Warren in 1982 because I had disgraced my given name and I was wanted by the authorities in La. and on the lam until 1987 (even after I was saved by the blood of jesus), when all charges were dropped and I was deemed innocent. I've spent nearly 13 years behind prison bars, I got out of prison in 1974 and never returned. I went to prison for bank burglary and escape. I gave my life over to christ jesus in 1984, became a ordained minister in 1998 and a prison volunteer minister and to this day minister and work with ex-cons. before jesus, I was a career safe cracker and armed robber...there you are...the proverbial black sheep! Looking back it's hard to believe I 've had such an egregious past. I've tried to make up for my past deeds in my life, yet, not all my family has forgiven me. I married my wife, Phyllis in 1975, I am retired thief! with 6 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. I lift up my bloodline up to the lord daily for blessing and His favor. I'm a blessed man.
