A Young English Convert

On the 2nd of May, 1987 I was born in England in the United Kingdom. My parents named me Jonathan Beale. My father’s name was John Mason but I had to have my mother’s name as it allowed them to claim more benefits. My parents were both heroin addicts, I had witnessed my dad beating my mother up many times and he would bring other women around our house sometimes. I was regularly climbing over needles and seeing strange people come into our council flat. Growing up wasn’t easy for me, but soon the social services were intervening and I was placed in a foster home temporarily. Somehow, I had at times heard of the concept of God, my mum’s family was large and I had come across the concept of death many times. My country is “civilised”, but my grandfather came from a more difficult time during the Second World War. |
