Five years ago today, ChristianGrantham.com was born, and in a small way, so was Christian Grantham.
At the White House, it was pretty much an unavoidable consequence of my security badge and dealing with new people every day to go by my first name. People very close to me knew me by my middle name, Michael. The confusion of wearing someone named Christian's security badge at the White House wasn't exactly something I cared for, especially during major events. Besides, people remembered "Christian," and I liked my first name. Taking it at an exciting time in my life signaled change.
It was a very long road from the lowest point in my life to a place where I was determined to make a difference for other people. I had also began using my first name in published editorials appearing in community news papers across the country, and on December 29, 1999, ChristianGrantham.com was born.
Many of you who have been reading this site from the beginning know a much longer story of life changing ups and downs. Those of you who are much newer to the site know me as just another blogger. Whether new or old, I want to thank each and every one of you for your love and support. Here is to a New Year and the changes to come!
