God knows. He knew me before I was born. I used to think I knew, but that’s when I was lost in the world. Lost in myself. Lost but not forgotten.

I am 64. In the Year of Our Lord 2024. When Enoch was 65, he begat Methuselah. Begat means the wife did all the work and the man gets the credit, right? Then, Enoch walked with the Lord for the next 300 years before God took him. Does that mean Enoch didn’t walk with the Lord before his son was born?

Did the birth of his son change him so dramatically? I can’t wait to find out when I speak with Enoch face to face. I certainly don’t intend to have any more children. Not at my age. I can barely keep up with the grandchildren.

If more of us walked with the Lord before we begat children, then taught them to walk with the Lord, well, the world would look a lot less wicked. It would be a much more pleasant experience. I seem to recall the birth of another Son that made an impact in the eyes of His Father.

When I am 65, will the Good Lord take me? God only knows. For my remaining time on Earth, however, I will seek Him, always. I will pray without ceasing. I will love Him with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength. And I will fail Him, miserably, everyday. Then I will ask forgiveness and in His love, mercy, and grace He will forgive me, for He is faithful and true.

Once, I was lost. Now, I am found. And I don’t want to stray from the path, again, so I choose to follow Jesus as faithfully as I know how. As I walk and talk with Him, I’ll share whatever He allows. If you enjoy the conversation, feel free to share it with others.
