That was what my college roomate and 'friends' plastered on my 62 Olds, June 1st, 1969. Sara and I had made the commitment before God, family, and friends and, literally, rode off into the sunset. Eureka Springs was west of Pyatt. The happily ever after part took a little work though. That's just the way it is. Especially in the Christian journey. It's a beginning ( yes, born of God). Only He can make that initial transformation from 'death to life'. It's also an adventure of 'faith walking' with Him guiding you by the same grace that He used to save you intially. That's where the work comes in. It's trials, errors, and overcomings (victories). The real joy of this 'roaring lion' infested walk is Jesus walking with you through it. You learn that He can easily take care of that adversary and change you at the same time.
I'm very excited and encouraged by so many of you who responded last Sunday to "let Jesus change your life, by getting into His Word". I believe, not only you, but so many all around us are also hungering for the truth that only comes from God. Let's pray to that effect; that God will create and also satisfy that hunger.
" O' taste and see that the Lord is good". Psalms 34:8.
My friend, pastor Dale Freeman must have been on this same thought this week because in his notes today he wrote:
"Perhaps you remember when you first fell in love. The nervous glow of the first date and ultimately the excitement of the wedding. Then, after the festivities, you went home and learned to live life together under one roof. A little less glow and a little more hard work required in building the relationship. "
God bless as we 'study the Word' together,
Jack
