If you follow both my blogs, this is an expanded repost from yesterday. Since most of you don’t, this will be new material.<\/p>\n
Two weeks ago, my father shared his story of faith in his church. They posted it to their YouTube channel, and now, other people have a chance to hear. To me, his message is powerful, and I want to share it with you. The link opens in a new tab. The audio is 25 minutes long. I found some humor, but there is sadness to accompany the joy of my father’s journey to faith. He’s always been a believer, but, for some reason, he never believed he was good enough. It took a remarkable child to show him the way. Please listen. I think you’ll find it worth your while.<\/p>\n
Many of you do not know my father. He is a private man who does not talk a lot. I learned much I did not know about him listening to what he chose to share. Yet, I sort of knew it all along. As I heard the words, I could understand. I know many people who bear a similar pain, and I’d love to have them experience the freedom my father gained as he learned what I’ve known most of my life about faith. What we learn as a child impacts our lives for many years, and my father learned the wrathful side of God. I’m so thankful he found the Grace side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
