really a nice guy. I thought of how shallow and curious he had been… and how his story had somehow made me just as curious. And I considered the other disciples and how they seemed to misunderstand all the time.

I then thought of my friend Matthew and how he’d asked me to go to church. The questions in my mind, and the spiritual experience of the church worship, led me to dig a little more. Later, Matthew urged me to read more of the Bible. I started to read but began at the beginning. In the book of Genesis, I read… “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…”

I kept on reading, and now as a minister I still do… and the Spirit  guides me. The Genesis story of creation caused me to think that either it was the most ridiculous fairy tale of all and there is no god, or it is really true. And if it’s true, God is really the Creator of all. If it is true, and Jesus is really the Son of God, and what was it that I was to do?

Well, the Spirit did guide my thoughts and answered my prayers as I read so long ago. I entered a seminary. I now believe that through the mists of time comes the saving Word to us, and his name is Jesus. The rest is what I call my own faith parade. The parade still goes forward to this day right past where you are sitting reading this. And from the roadway I call up to you in His name and say….

“Hey you up there. . , come on down!”

Text Box: The Story of Zacchaeus He (Jesus) entered Jericho and was passing through. And there was a man named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector, and rich. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” So he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully. And when they saw it they all murmured, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold.” And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:1-10)
