Many Thanks!
Tom, Grant, and all, thanks again for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. Tom, your story touched my soul. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. God has certainly blessed your household. Thank you Jesus!
gregor, thanks for sharing your story also regarding your fraternity brothers. Back in my frat days as a pledge, my pledge master was the person who basically decided what torments we were to endure. Yes, this was back when hazing included both physical and mental abuse certainly beyond what is acceptable today. The pledge master allowed many ungodly things to occur - eating vomit, being defecated on, having to memorize and recite pornographic materials, etc., as well as many other episodes equally upsetting to God.
A decade later, this same "pledge master" is now one of the most godly people I know - filled with the Holy Spirit and the Love of Jesus Christ! This man has brought many other people into the "brotherhood" of Christianity and was very instrumental in providing the example I needed to come back to God.
Lord, you work in strange and wonderful ways. It is amazing how you transform us sinners into good witnesses for You. May we learn to be patient and not quickly discount and give up on others. May we have the ability to lead others to become proactive followers doing your will on Earth. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
HE IS RISEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
