As a child, like so many other people, I was exposed to knowledge of Jesus at an early age, when my parents and grandparents took me to Sunday School.
Church was fun, we played games, and I made lots of new friends. But I failed to get the true meaning of who Jesus Christ is and what it means to have Him in your life.
I soon faded away from the church and lived most of my young adult life in darkness. Still, there was always something reminding me of the Bible stories I learned in those Sunday School classes.
My wife and I had been married for about four years when we felt led to leave our home in Seattle and move to Brinnon. We found a new home, a good job and we had two children and love in our family. But there seemed to be something undone, something missing. Somehow my life seemed to be incomplete.
I spent the next year or so searching for a way to fill this void in my life. I became unhappy and frustrated when I was unable to fulfill the need that was burning inside me. I soon could feel a separation in my family -- instead of things getting better, they were getting worse.
One day a neighbor of ours invited us to attend Sunday School at Brinnon Community Church, so we went. I found the people there to be kind, loving and uplifting, so we continued to attend. I soon could feel a change in my self and in my family. A short time later I felt the desire to invite Jesus into my heart and give Him control of my life.
Has the void been filled in my life? It most surely has! The joy, peace and happiness that my Lord and Savior has brought into my life has filled that void completely.
