Jerry, I know what it means to have a heart seated in Christ and to know that unsurpassed love that abounds when you come to believe. I thought I had it all in the sixties/seventies and eighties..... drink, women, cigarettes etc etc and lived life.. as I thought.. to the full. I too had no time for thinking about Christianity or faith, or God although I might have sneakily thought He existed because I always prayed when in difficulty and thought it must be some sort of instinct. Now I know it was! God did not fit in with my lifestyle so I guess I ignoredis existence. When people say "A leopard cannot change his spots".... I think of how I was pre-Christian days and reply that "With the Holy Spirit, anything is possible"..... Jerry you are a true Blessing to all around you as evidenced by many of your posts and opinions given by others. That you have the Lord in your life truly presents itself. I hope you and yours have the most Blessed season.
Best wishes, Mike.
