When a person gets old, they have a
lot of wrinkles in the brain, which are memories of the past, and some people
repeat stories. So, if you heard my story
before, you will recognize a mistake I accidentally made. I said, “That was 20,
almost 21 years ago.” NO, NO, NO, it was
70, almost 71 years ago. That will bring me up to date. I am 90, going on 91.
One more grammatical error is in
paragraph one. I said, “I have an old
man with a new nature.” I should have
said, “I am an old man with a new nature.”
One of the saddest things in our
Christian walk is the warfare of the two natures. Before the light is turned on in our souls,
we pick up some bad baggage and carry it all the way through the new life. One of the things that came into my life as
a teenager has followed me through these 90 years and gotten worse with
age. My brother came into our house. I
was sitting at the table waiting for my mother to cook my breakfast. He said,
“Mother, when we are sitting out on our patio as a family, don't let Bob come
over. He is just in the way.” That line has stayed with me all these years.
That line is also an answer to my prayer –“God, why do I feel this way? What makes me feel I am in everyone’s way? He has answered my prayers in other words, too. When the precious prayer coordinator comes around on Sunday morning to take prayer requests, my line is, “Just a closer walk with Jesus.” ”
