LastofAll -> Greetings from Germany (8/26/2008 7:32:12 AM)

Greetings all,
Grace and peace be multiplied to you from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (I find it edifying to begin a letter as Paul did).
Anyways, I am generally a private sort, and do not like to speak of myself, and the only times in which I enjoy speaking, is when I may impart the Word of God to a hearer, that their faith may be increased, which is my joy and reward. Notwithstanding, I will say a little of my life. I grew up west of Chicago, and my parents had both passed away by the age of fifteen, and a neighbor family took me in, which I thank God for; because they understood the royal law. At eighteen, I joined the Army, and was in from 76-87; and remained in Germany. My wife and I have just reached our twenty fifth year of marriage this month; and we have no children, but we have a cat. In 1981, I began in the faith of Christ, but was in and out until 1988, when one day out of no-where, the Lord enlightened the eyes of my understanding, and since then, I study Godīs Word three to four hours daily, and it a necessity, as my daily food. Up until 2000, I was an overseer for the churches homeless program, and bi-weekly I had the privilege to speak Godīs Word to about two hundred of the least of Christīs brethren, and there was a german, Russian, and polish interpreter along with me, so that all may hear the message. But because most all forces departed, so most all churches went with them back state-side, and now I speak when a door is opened. I am somewhat new to the computer, but am thankful that I may communicate with fellow Christian, that we may be comforted together by the mutual faith in hearing Godīs Word. Sorry so long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
