This is the last in a series of 13 posts that describe, from the beginning, our ongoing journey to integrate our Christian faith into our family automobile business. This series of posts lays the groundwork for the context of this blog. This final post wraps it all up and gets it started at the same time!
I was sitting in Kansas City, MO at a Promise Keepers conference. I was early because I wanted to get a good seat. My brother was sitting next to me and I was feeling good! He and I had a heart-to-heart talk the night before and I had confirmed that he is indeed saved and wanting to grow in his faith. Because finding that information was the whole point of me making the trip from Atlanta, I could then relax!
Now, I could enjoy the rest of the conference…or so I thought.
I had a serious problem. I had a blind spot and did not know it. I was raised in a Christian home. I accepted Jesus and was baptized when I was 10 years old. I grew up in a small-town Baptist church and was given a great faith foundation and working knowledge of the Bible. I was a good kid and never got into much trouble.
