People have asked me if I could have any choice in the world to live, where would that be? When I was a new follower of Christ, I would reply, "If it were possible to go back to Bible times, I would be there." I so wanted to be a part of what God was doing!

Yet this morning during worship, after spending most of yesterday learning how to reach out to people, then getting a chance to share my faith (something I have been longing to do for over 22 years, but was a prisoner to fear).....it was as if God tapped me on the shoulder, as I worshipped, and said "there's a garden around you...just like the Garden of Gethsemene where Jesus sought the Lord. You ARE in the Bible times. The Politics are the same....people are hungry just the same, and you have a responsibility just the same."

How encouraging that was to me! So many Followers of Christ have already been living in the Bible Times...yet, I've been spending all this time hiding in fear...almost like Peter, when he denied Jesus 3 times before the rooster crowed. But just like Peter, I am forgiven....I have a second chance to tell the world.....until next time....
