I just want to be a Christian

Monday, July 10th, 2006

We just left the city of Searcy, a small town with churches (nearly) on every corner. Aunt and Uncle welcomed us into their home with great love and we had a blast hooking up with relatives, some I hadn’t seen in over 20 years. 

Nana is in a home now. Aunt and Uncles visit her every day, but she is feeling droopy and worries about life. She’ll still talk seriously to you, most of the time making sense, though not always.

I know life is hard for her, but she keeps on, never forgetting what is most important. "I’ve just wanted to be a Christian," she says. "I’m so proud of my children. They all love the Lord. They want to be fine Christian men and women."

When I’m 90, I hope I’m clear-headed enough to discern as well as she does what’s really important: Loving the Lord; Being a Christian; Desiring to grow.

Thanks for stopping by.
