One of the believers that meets with us is a very old man who walks all bent over with his cane, literally in a permanent \u201cL\u201d position. His neighbor had been coming faithfully to the teaching and took the time to share and explain the truths with him using the media players. He came to know the Lord and whenever he is able he comes to the teaching. During the meeting on Wednesday afternoon we were talking about how so many people just come up with excuse after excuse as to why they \u201ccan\u2019t come\u201d to the teaching. He shared the following story. (Keep in mind that it is at least a 2 mile walk at the hottest time of the day for him to hobble to the teaching.) He said: \u201cOne day I started off walking to the Bible teaching. I was going slowly along when I passed some younger people who were sitting in front of their house. They started laughing at me and asked me where I was going. I told them, \u2018I am going to hear God\u2019s word. I am old and crippled and yet I am going. What about you?\u2019 Suddenly they stopped laughing. They are young and able to go but they wouldn\u2019t go. I am old and crippled but God gives me strength and so I go to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
