25 years: a life in perspective

It has been 25 years since I asked Jesus into my life. So now I’m celebrating, because I did not think I could hack it, and neither did many others.

I was born in the Lancashire town of Bolton on the 16th August 1951.  My mother was a working girl and had hardly any time for me.  One day, she was so mad, she wrapped me in a blanket and dumped me in a bin behind the ABC cinema.  There, a man who had just committed a robbery heard me as he ran from the police.  He stopped, picked me out of the bin and waited for the police to catch up with him so that he could hand me over.  I hear that he got a shortened prison sentence for doing the right thing.

I was born in 1968 in Liverpool, having a rough early life.  Expelled from school at 14, I started to earn a living on an ice-cream van and then on Liverpool market stalls.  My fascination with music caused me to launch out as a 'tribute artist' performing Phil Collins songs.  I always wanted to sing, and got the opportunity on Stars In Their Eyes performing as Phil Collins.  I sang in front of Phil, and was endorsed by him as his number one tribute in the world.  But it seemed, even though I had this affirmation and a bit of publicity, I was never happy with my life.

I was born in 1941 in the small West Yorkshire village of Crofton, situated just outside the Wakefield area, into a mining family.  My life nearly ended there as I was stillborn but my father gave me a tap and life began to flow. 

An Adventure with Jesus

Born of an English Soldier and an Italian war-bride mother.  Started life by being fostered because mum had TB and was unable to care for new born infant.  At 18 months, adopted into foster family hence the name Cowling.

Brought up in a nominal Christian home even though my adoptive mum converted from being a nominal Methodist to become a nominal Roman Catholic, "so that David could be brought up in the religion to which he was born". Educated through Catholic Schools (rubbish scholar), went to church regularly and Sunday, took my first Holy Communion at 7 years and was confirmed into the Catholic Church at 8 years.

I am Alex Maloney and I am a taxi driver in Burton on Trent.  I have been married to Lydia for 36 years and we have 4 children.

I was born in the West Yorkshire town of Pontefract in 1942, during the second World War, from a single parent Mum who already had children, and I was given up for adoption as a baby.  My first recollections as a child were of isolation and loneliness.  Very little attention was given to me during my six and half years in this children’s home, and I cannot remember ever being given a hug or shown any sign of affection up to being just over six years old.
