First Spanish Service...Nice "Birthday" Present!

NOTE: I wrote this back in October...not sure why it didn't post:

Wow, it really happened. Yesterday, we had our first Spanish service at my church, Landmark Tabernacle in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. I am elated. I got to preach and teach the entire plan of salvation to a woman who has come to church a few times before...but this time, in her own language! This is the life, y'all...there's nothing like working with souls. I have interpreted services into Spanish many, many times...it's something I did for years. But actually setting aside time to have services in Spanish--that's a new ball game...and a wonderful "birthday present", of sorts, also. today is the twenty-ninth anniversary of the night I went down in the waters of baptism in the precious name of Jesus! On October 17, 1976, a thirteen-year old boy from a nominally Presbyterian background became an Apostolic Pentecostal. I couldn't even pronounce the name of our religion yet! I can't tell you how thankful I am for the way God has kept me all these years. I'm feeling good and I'm counting my blessings, so forgive me if I seem to ramble--but this is the sweetest life. And in Jesus, the best is always yet to come!
In Love With Jesus,
