1974

Kris Kristofferson sang Larry Gatlin's song, "Help Me." I'd be driving my truck and have to pull over because of the tears I shed. "Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it so, help me, Jesus. I know what I am. Now that I know that I've needed You so, help me, Jesus. My soul's in Your hands."
One day, I saw a bumper sticker that read, "Someone Who Cares---WCTN Patomac-Cabin John" and the position on the dial. I tuned in to see who had all that compassion. A lad was interviewing two lads from Liverpool, England. Malcomb & Allwyn. The talked of sharing their love for Jesus of Nazareth and their belief that He is exactly Who He says He is and of sharing that conviction with their friend, George Harrison and how George had initially rejected their attempt at sharing the Light, but they were prayerful that the scales would be removed from his eyes.
Then, they played the title song of their album...a song called "Fool's Wisdom." The lyrics went, "Got my self some wisdom from the leather-back book. Got myself a Savior, when I took a second look." The song was powerful, and again, I was pulling off the road, tears in my eyes, knowing I had to change my life. It began to change in earnest that day.
I used to say I didn't like "organized religion." I don't know that DISorganized religion is any better or religion at ALL for that matter, but I've found that religion, by definition is mankind reaching for God.
Christianity, however, is just the opposite---it's God's way of reaching to mankind. I'm glad I learned the difference. If you haven't discovered this and you wish to know the Truth, regardless of how you've been brought up, or what your background and traditions are, I KNOW you will find it if you take this challenge:
Get a version of the Bible you are comfortable reading. That's easy, especially if you have an i-phone or some sort of smart phone. No excuses for not finding one.
Before you read it, say this to Jesus and MEAN it. "Jesus, I don't know if You're real or not, but if You are, reveal Yourself to me, as I read this book."
He will honor that prayer IF you are sincere. Begin with the Gospel of John and let me know how that turns out for you. Everyone who is sincere that I've issued that challenge to and have taken it have had their lives changed. There's one out there still making excuses.

Hey, look, I know I'm a weirdo, but that doesn't mean God will make you like me...He will make you more like Jesus, and that ain't bad!
