On Seeing Christ

Not then as mingling personage, and its resort, nor as linguistic parsonage in moments scored! So also referenced structuring the church in ford, oft marks the course in buffering a message heard! The sight of Christ, so ruffling with wonders chord, all else is stemmed from suffering within reward! I know of Christ, not muttering in daily towards as did address my sauntering from human board! The bonds so striven emptily as merits hoard cannot compare with brevity His presence . . . soared! Note ~ My only Son had married in Brookings, S. D., and he and wife were transferred to Iowa. I had hoped for a continuing relationship. They were transferred four times with his Enron pipeline job ~ then the Company went under. But before leaving South Dakota I was headed out to their home (they had left) and near a turn, where a School was blocking the street ~ under a Street light ~ I witnessed the image of Jesus, he looked like the paintings, in white, a mirage of a sort. Saying "Don't give up hope" the impact was so real I started to drive, and drove past My sons home, and kept going, crying and filled with so much awe ~ I ended up in Minnesota by a Lake Preston, and just kept sobbing and feeling so special, I had seen what the world was waiting to see. Jesus is a personal Savior ~ I would hope everyone could have such an encounter. My fear, disappointment, pain everything else was swept away. Take Care!
