Meandering

Tommy is doing a Monday night Bible study he calls Meandering Through Mark.  One scripture we have studied (Mark 5:18-20) tells the story of the man who had been delivered from demons to go home and tell his people his story.  Every time I hear this scripture quoted, I go back to a little church in Fountain City who met in an old restaurant.  The building is still there.  My family were charter members of this little church. The Christian Church of Fountain City.

I was nine years old when my family became members.  We walked to church, about a mile, and never missed.  Our first preacher was L.W. Buckley.  He was not a young man when he preached for us, but then, everyone looks old when you are nine.

Every single time Mr. Buckley preached he would walk out from behind the pulpit when he finished, stand with one arm leaning on the pulpit, look out at all of us and quote that scripture.  As long as I can remember I have known that verse by heart.  I can still hear his gravely voice quoting this as he stared straight into my soul, or so it seemed.....

"Go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord has done for thee and how He has had compassion on thee."
