Ad Deum qui laetificat .... me too.

Gettin' saved was easy ... I already had the trinity, the death, burial and resurrection, the virgin birth and that Jesus died for my sins.

The little niggler was that I was never taught I could have a personal relationship with my Savior.

Jesus was a sort of Catholic God and that I could have Him only through the RCC ... or something like that .... because the truth is ...

Jesus was never explained to me, he was TOLD to me.

And I didn't GET the connection of MY SIN needed to be given TO HIM.

My sin needed to be given to father confessor.

Anyway ... Thank GOD for Eddy Klein witnessing to me waayyy back there in 1981.

And to those true friends who brought the good news of Jesus Christ to me in the Autumn and early Winter of 1980 when I was nearly the age of Jesus when He went to the cross to die for my sins.

Raised a Baptist, I had no excuses for taking so long to seek out, cry out to, and encounter the Lord Jesus Christ and I do regret the wasted opportunities in the earlier years.

I have someone to give thanks for, for he witnessed to me the Truth of Jesus: my college roommate, Shef Villier. Sadly, he later fell into Mormonism. I spent a couple of decades worming him out of that. But his witness to me not too long after he got born from above is what GOD used to open my eyes.
