I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord.

Been that way for 45 yrs and still happy. Like the old songs, praying together, worshipping, preaching, fellowshipping. Church has been good to me and for me. Have I ever been hurt yep but folks get hurt at work they don't go to the mountains and become a hermit and quit working. My family has hurt me I have not moved to Iran hoping they will love me better. But you know what just like I have been hurt I have hurt people by my stupidity and carelessness. So I am only reaping what I have sown. Hurts eventually heal if you quit picking at them my mother used to say. Church has helped heal my hurts.
