Psalms 122:1
I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the Lord.
I do not recall how many times good friends invited me to church but it was a lot. Many people tried to be nice but I always made excuses. I don't know how many times I went but had no real desire to be there. I do remember a good friend asking me to go fishing and I was always up for that. As I got in the pickup he said he needed to stop and see the pastor for a minute. Well that was fine. But as I sat with them while they talked, I lost track of what it was about because I was feeling something I could not explain. It felt kind of good but I was not sure why I was feeling like I felt. The pastor and my friend seemed to not be too concerned about me at the time. And that was o.k. They were not out to make me feel left out or anything - they just had something to discuss.
Well we did go fishing and I for sure did not say anything about feeling kind of… well I still do not know how to say it. I later heard the pastors’ wife say something that fit pretty good. She said it is better felt than telt. That was in February of 1975. In March of 1975 on the fifth Sunday I remember that day well. My wife Dolores and I both decided we wanted to become Christians, children of the Most High living God.
Now it is April 2015 and we are still saying:
I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the Lord.
I'll leave you with this advice; you will never know how good something good is until you truly try it.
Psalms 34:8
O taste and see that the Lord is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.
