The year was 1985 I had gone to the house to worship God. I had come out of the denominations. After many years of joining virtually all the major denominations I had quit!

The one prevailing thought as I went from denomination to denomination was that something was missing. What that something was I could not define, I just knew that something was in fact missing, some aspect of God that was vital, but as yet still not understood. I had many doctrinal points, proper theology, even a genuine love of the Lord Jesus Christ. Still, within me was a big void. Something was missing!

Eventually by God's mercy I met some Christian brothers that were different. They had a different vocabulary, a depth of Christ I had not experienced before. Eventually I was led to the church in Houston. In the very first meeting there I knew I was home.The Lord Jesus Christ's mercy had reached deep to find me. I found what I was missing, "THE BODY." Christ and the Church the one new man.

The Word of God became living and operable, the purpose of God became clear, as understood through the template of God's Economy. Low, these many years have been a great joy in living because someone showed me God's Eternal
Purpose. Thank you Christ I am home in you, in the local church.
