Nyer, thank you for this post. I’ve seen his life and partly lived it of drifting away from going to church and active participation. Living a few years as a CINO (Christian in Name Only), where I may not have done really bad things, but I paid only ‘lip service’ to my religious upbringing and initial baptism. Although it is hard to do ‘bad things’ and still remain in the Army, :-).
Having a family and/or aging does bring one back to one’s religious roots and seeking a deeper faith/understanding of what one learned as a child and teenager. And then our faith blossoms.
Thanks for the ping.
Big smile ... it's all theory until it becomes reality. Imagine God's patience, waiting for us to return. : - )
