Shorter version. I was out sharing Jesus gospel by riding a bike. Looking for opportunities. Seeing a young man and two girls with him getting ready to go in a store. I felt drawn to go across the street and share with them. To my surprise they were already saved and were seeking to invite youth to their church 20 miles away. The invite was a hay ride.

Skip from here and when the hay ride day came I was there. Long story shortened, decided to attend weekly and even signed into the church register. It was a non-denominational church which I preferred anyway. Well here it is-- 2 weeks earlier a young lady decided she would go on the hay ride and also signed the church register.

Both of us were close to age and went regularly to youth and church meetings. Also I became bass player for the worship there. One day while outside a anointing came on me and made me know that she would be my wife. She is a special gem and I will be eternally grateful for my reward for sharing Jesus just at the right time. We have children, grand children and great grand children.

The difference for me is this personal relationship with Jesus and served him 50 plus years . It is real folks.
