The Lost
So this may be very short but tonight my brother went to church with me. It was the second time in a year and a half that I have even seen him (the first time being Friday and only the second time in 5 years). My brother is an unbeliever and so the few times I see him I try and share with him some truth. I don't want to waist time dwelling or explaining our past but I will tell you the last time I saw him he came to church with me as well. The difference this time was the lack of a girlfriend to distract him through the entire service. So, my brother Chad went along with me to Junior high ministry as well as the main service. During the service I could tell that he was listening and he even used my Bible a bit. Then it came to worship and my heart filled with joy as he sang the words. That moment also broke my heart and my eyes began to tear up. I realized he sang words of truth , words of worship, words calling on the Lord and singing "Jesus, Lord and Savior." This broke my heart as I realized that he may never know what those words meant, he may never be saved. We spoke afterwards and there are some things he is chewing on. Now all I can do is pray and pursue. I just don't want my brother to live a life void of God and never spend eternity with Him. The lost who don't even know that they are lost. That is a sad truth that is a call to action.

Heather - I will be praying for your brother and that the words he sang tonight will not only be words, but will carry truth and transform his life. Does he live in town?
Brian, thanks for the prayers. He is actually only in town for about another month as he constantly moves between here where I live and where my sister lives in North Carolina.
Heather- Chad will find his way one day and we can watch him grow to be a man we are proud to call our brother hes a work in progress for sure. I love you Boobie!
Hey sis,
Nice to see someone older and much wiser (or at least older) around my blog. Oh, and maybe you should not call me Boobie on here. That may be a little difficult to explain. I know I call Johnathan that and you call me that but it may seem a bit strange. Love you girl. We will both have to pray for Chad as God grabbed me and then you (though I never thought it possible) and hopefully one day him as well. Then at least one side of my siblings will be save I will just have to work harder on the other.
