Bible Note: JustMe, I'm not about to drop out. I was devout about a half century ago. I was in the Army and you know, no atheist in a foxhole, but I really was a believer. I studied my Bible hard everyday and prayed but didn't pray enough. I turned my back on religion but still maintained a relationship with Christ even though it was not as it should be. Now, half a century later, I've returned. First I saw changes in my life without understanding why they happened. I grew kinder and gave up judgment. I relaxed. Then my wife found a church that I really like. Then my mother died and my Dad replaced his Bible with one that he likes better and I started reading a daily devotional at BibleGateway, 40 days to get closer to the Lord. Now I have been offered a full time job that allows me to stop travelling and be with my family. So many changes. They can't be coincidence. Nah, I'll be here the rest of my life. Thanks y'all Brother Rik |
