Inside Mesa

Richard Tanguay, a missionary to Chile posted a reply July 14th, to a blog I submitted on Gospel Music.  He suggested hearing more about success stories like four he knew of that were educated, free from government spending, and now have successful jobs on the west coast.

It’s a good idea Richard - when I have the opportunity and see the positive influence such as these, I will certainly do so. 

Gary Gould,

The response time has closed regarding your reply - I thought it important to answer and post an answer to your comments of August 21st. 

I agree with your statement “I want nothing to do with anybody or any god that loves slave owners.”  I believe also that God “is more interested as to how you look at your neighbors wife than if you own 40 humans as slaves.”

A personal testimony is usually no use if someone doesn’t want to hear it.  It has been my experience that life is found in relationships - the first for me in the one I cultivate with God.  I’ve found I cannot begin to embrace what we’ve just agreed as truth, if I don’t know him.  The only way I know to get to know him is to ask him to help me. 

Thanks for your input.
