I took that anger out on the most innocent people around me. These last few months, without church... Continue Reading →

My Best Friend’s Role and Absence in My Conversion
It began sooner than I anticipated: Last week, I invited my best friend to join a new church friend and myself to a mid-older singles event. It was just a little bbq behind a local meetinghouse, but it was where people first assumed I had been baptized by my best friend. They didn't know just... Continue Reading →

Maggie and the Missionaries
OR "Those Tender Kind Souls Who Would Have LIKED Preached His Gospel to Me and Those I Finally Listened To" I have rarely admitted to anyone the long road it has taken me to get to a point where I invited missionaries into a house in which I resided. In fact, I don't believe I... Continue Reading →
