I talked to Preacher Donald Harris on the phone yesterday. It was real nice to hear from him, and to find out that He and Betty have a new church. I have such respect for the two of them. They are just down to earth people, spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to his church members, and whoever else will listen.
I've had a lot of respect for the two of them ever since I first stepped foot in Antioch Baptist Church. They are the ones that gave me the push, and the confidence I needed to be able to teach Bible study classes at the nursing home. I never thought I was good enough, nor socially acceptable, to do such a thing. Preacher Harris taught me it had nothing to do with social standing. It had to do with how I stood in the sight of God.
To my opinion the church hasn't been the same since they left. It doesn't seem like home anymore. In fact I feel like a stranger every time I walk in the doors now. It's sad but true.
Betty Harris is such a sweet person. She never failed to speak to everyone in the church. And whatever she said to you she meant. She truely does care about people. there's not a fake bone in her body. We truely need more people in our churches that have the love for others in their hearts that these two people do.
Preacher if you and Betty should read this. Here's saying to both of you. Thank you so much for helping Willard and me to grow. While some may try to push us back down, we will stand strong in the Lord. You two were such good examples for Willard and me to follow.
OK people, Until next time, God bless . And ask yourself this question. What kind of example am I?
