Awe, bless you X.

I've only just picked myself up off the floor, I've been laughing so much. Here's why:

I hadn't heard the phrase before, so I looked it up in the Oxford Concise English Dictionary, and here's what it said:

Crock (informal noun) An old person considered to be feeble and useless. Yes, well, some people may well agree! Lol!

While I am honoured to have received such an accolade concerning my testimony, I beg to differ where you feel mine is above that of anybody else. It is, in fact, an abridged version of the one I have in my book I am hoping to get published, and is pretty tame by any standards. One contributor told of how he had spent a total of sixteen prison sentances before finding salvation through our Saviour, but as I stress to anybody giving testimonies, there's no prize for the longest, most dramatic testimony. Whether it's a couple of paragraphs or 2000 words makes no difference. The only thing I stress is it's got to be straight from the heart. These are, to all intents and purposes declarations before God. I am but a very, very small cog.

Your Brother in Christ, Fred.

Amen even a single tear, a single sigh and even a smile is a testimony by itself.

[Wabco]

Amen!
We all have our own path to follow to come to Christ.

Its not your previous experiences that concern me, because that is no longer of importance it is your perception of the grace of God , that is humbling

Thank you. We all aim for the unattainable, knowing full well we'll land far short of the mark, but that doesn't prevent us from trying. Each time we fail, we realise why we fail, so each time we learn just a little bit more how to conduct ourselves in our daily lives.

How would our Saviour have handled it? should be foremost in our minds in times of tribulation and temptation. Peace be with you, Fred.

Amen if we profess, 'Lead kindly Light", then we should accept and follow the example set for us to follow when the Lord lived in the flesh among us.
