My story with God
I was born (1925) the son of a Methodist minister in the Central Illinois Conference the Methodist Church. I was born again (1953) at the age of 27 in a crisis experience so radical and life-changing that my family thought I had lost my mind. Later, when I was introduced to the writings of Anton Boisen (The Exploration of the Inner World) I recognized the truth of his explication of the deep inter-relatedness of religion and psychology. You can find a book-length story of my experience with God and the lessons I have drawn from it at www.afoolforChrist.com .
Other stuff about me:
I am presently a member of the Church of God, Joliet, IL (www.jolietchurchofgod.org), an interracial, holiness (Wesleyan) church.

    Soul food for the Day: The CENTER...

    The center chapter of the BIBLE is Psalm 118.. there are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118
    And if we will add this we will get 1188... in which the center verse of the BIBLE is PSALM 118:8
    What is the significant of Psalm 118:8 in God's perfect will for our lives?
    It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.-- Psalm 118:8

    When things get tough, always remember faith doesn't get you around trouble..
    it gets you through it!
    When you relinquish the desire to control your future you obtain happiness...

    Prayer:
    Father God, bless my friend in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day....
    May their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have closer relationship with you. Amen...
