I love Baptists

Uncle Donnie was converted to the Christian Faith (is that the same thing as saying
"I got saved"?) almost forty years ago. I think I was about 17 yrs. old and ready for a change. Up until then, I had followed in the shadow of my father's Atheism and was quite comfortable in that condition... Until, that is, I met my future Trophy Wife, Betty. She had a great little wiggle, and I was all eyes, you get my meaning? Anyways, she went to church and I didn't. At all.

Betty had a conversion experience, I think in '67 (that would be 1967- not 1867, smart ass!... Please excuse my "French").
She had attended a Billy Graham Crusade, and made a committment to follow Jesus, which she has done for these past forty years. Uncle Donnie, on the other hand, made a committment to follow that little wiggle, wherever it roamed, and so I did. I followed that wiggle right into her little community(read: Baptist)church. I heard the Gospel preached and explained quite well by a man named David Hay, and within six months I made a decision to trust in Jesus.That's what I did. That's my story and I'm a-stickin' to it.

Those Baptists were great! they showed me love and concern and a huge amount of grace. You see, Uncle Donnie in those days was a little rough around the edges. Actually, if the truth be known, I was rough all over. I was a complete novice,just a beginner; in baseball parlance, a "rookie". In street talk, a "fanuggy", you know what I mean?...but I never did inhale!

I really loved the Baptists. In fact, I think everybody should own one.
....What?
Oh, Baptists... I was talking about Bassets. You know, the cute little floppy eared-
What??
No! I'm not saying that Baptists have floppy ears! Come on, fuggetaboutit! That's
how rumors get started. I can't believe you take this stuff so seriously.
"Tom, he's taken this business very serious." (reference:Sonny Corleone, The Godfather).
If the Baptists love Jesus, and they do, then I love the Baptists and so does Jesus,so go and show some love to our dear Jesus-loving brethren!
Start by reading Spurgeon's sermons on the Song Of Solomon from his "Treasury of the
Old Testament". I think there's thirteen or so of them and Uncle Donnie has read them all.
"I am my beloved's and He is mine."

P.S. Uncle Donnie doesn't necessarily sanction "wiggle" evangelism... But, God does work in mysterious ways...Ya know what I mean?
