Thanks for sharing your testimony. Blessed!

…not saved by doctrines…We’re out there to win souls….
In an intelligent manner….
…love, compassion to those who are erring… God be merciful to me, a sinner. Still growing.

Dear Lord, give me a love for souls, even the nuts.

I had to laugh remembering being in the market with beef hot dogs in our basket so we could give our dog some medication. A church member pulled behind us at the register. I thought, should I explain? Naw… it’s a character building opportunity. Long ago but still brings a smile remembering that one-eyed look.
