24 Years in Christ!
"...One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see." John 19.25June 6, 1982 was the day of my conversion to Christ
...and O' What a Happy Day!
I am humbled at the rememberance of that day and the incredible faithfulness of God since that day to keep me in the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, my Lord.
I celebrate the tender mercies of the Lord along with my Dad, who standing side by side, together were ushered into the throne of grace, after having tasted the holiness of God!
My heart of thangiving to God is expressed by the 18 stanzas of Charles Wesley's hymn, originally titled:

Then with my heart I first believed,
believed with faith divine,
power with the Holy Ghost received
to call the Savior mine.
I felt my Lord's atoning blood
close to my soul applied;
me, me he loved, the Son of God,
for me, for me he died!
I found and owned his promise true,
ascertained of my part,
my pardon passed in heaven I knew
when written on my heart.

Dude,
Amen! Happy second-birth day!
BTW: I know I totally flaked on helping you with the header of the blog (apologies :(), but what you have there now looks killer.
I've been swamped with stuff, especially because Michelle has been so sick. A lot of time, however, has been spent researching the Jdubs and their New World Translation. I have plenty of straight, cutting ammo for the next time they darken our doorsteps. I will be meeting with some soon to go over some of my findings.

'Dear Dad (& Danny),
I was just reading your exultation to the Lord and remembering
about this day 24 years ago. What a blessing it was. I thought about
how every night I would ask you and Danny to come to hear Billy
Graham. As I worked on the field that night collecting prayer cards
(such a small thing I could do for the Lord) and I would run back and
forth to the upstairs room at BU where the mailing team would take them and begin to mail packets back to the people who went forward that night. At the end of the night as I was helping process the prayer cards, there came across my desk two cards; one with your name and one with Danny's
name on it. Who would have thought that after six nights of
asking you and Danny to come that one the last night of the crusade God would have moved you on that night (at what appeared to me to be the final hour). It has been an amazing 24 years. So much joy, so much sorrow but in it all is the hand of God continually, persistantly moving us closer to Himself, for Himself. I pray in your later years of life God will continue to keep the fire burning in your soul as He did that night and bless you and Barbara unbelievably. I love you and am
so thankful for God's grace and mercy on you & Danny, that evening
of June 6, 1982. I have been a recipient of that grace through your love and acceptance and forgiveness many times over.
Thank you Dad.
I love you.

to be stoned.....
