Tuesday
I'm just now getting a chance to write again since my last entry. The Family Life Conference went very well on Friday night and Saturday morning. The morning was a little less lively, probably because it was early! Also Mrs. York was unable to attend because of sickness.Sunday we headed to Munfordville, and overall it was a good day. Frankie preached on sin in the church (Revelation)and after church a lady in the church, Bonita, asked if she could say something. She went on to tell that when she got out of her car this morning at church, Josh (a young guy in the church), asked her what happened to her car. Apparently there was a dent in the backend of it. She responded, "I don't know anything about it." She went on to tearfully say that she had lied to Josh and also to her husband, Larry. She said she also told Larry, "I don't know anything about it" when he asked what happened. She said she backed into a fire hydrant. The church all but erupted in laughter. But several were tearful as well. It was such a testimony and so sweet and humble. She asked for their forgiveness and apologized to them both. Larry, her husband, had a look of disbelief, but he sort of laughed about it as well.
How many of us have told even little lies, or skirted around the truth or some other sin entirely and we repent of it, but never dare apologize to the person we lied to. MUCH LESS do we openly, publically ask forgiveness. I thought it was such a testimony and such a encouragement.
