Thursday was such a bad day for me, even though no one else who saw me that day could tell.

Nothing really dramatic or worthy of writing up. Grew up Methodist, became a United Pentecostal for a while, went to a Calvary Chapel (where I met my wife), dabbled in a Messianic congregation for a while, then an Evangelical Free Church, and now somehow ended up in a loopy Vineyard Fellowship. Can't move from there till the better half decides to, though. She's too attached.<br /><br />But the blogs of you Pyros and other reformed blogs have been instrumental in the impartation of God's Grace to me.<br /><br />Soli Deo Gloria!Mike Westfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944727980772754938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-19489957289420319342010-02-12T05:46:47.196-06:002010-02-12T05:46:47.196-06:00Mesa Mike — really?

I can't really point to a specific date that, by His grace alone, I put my faith in Christ.

(I am <i>not</i> suggesting that any unbeliever should be told this!) <br /><br />In my case, I can look back over the years of my B.C. rebelliousness and see numerous instances where it was only His grace and mercy that kept me from prematurely perishing. Dozing off behind the wheel while driving on the interstate; waking up the next day wondering who drove home the night before, only to find out it was <i>me</i>; I could go on....<br /><br />What an awesome God we serve!NoLongerBlindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442745304762344386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-5613733986440910552010-02-11T11:54:39.060-06:002010-02-11T11:54:39.060-06:00See?!
