However, if Ihad been compelled to depend upon them as my only source ofencouragement to take part in spiritual things, it is possibleI would never have known Christ as Savior. They were willingfor me to take part in church activities, yet, as I recall correctly,the first time they were present to encourage me in a Spiritualendeavor was when I was ordained to the ministry! - Harold'sJournal
