Lynn D TalafuseSo, you've read this far. My name is Lynn David Talafuse. I was born 26 Feb 1958. During my life, when I attend church regular, I go to a Lutheran Church. At one place that I lived, I visited all the other churches just to see what there was to see. here was a long period when I did not go to church. I made a deal with myself that when I started going again, I would live right and put away my old behavior. For the most part, I am doing pretty well. The Spirit has done and is doing a lot of work on me, kinda like soul surgery. It ain't easy letting go of some of my old attitudes. I have no formal training as far as ministry as of yet. I read a lot. When I was a young child and my sister had already started school, I had a lot of time on my hands and so one of the things I started doing was to sit on the bed, look into the mirror and stare into my own eyes and contemplate the world as I knew it. This is how I trained myself to reason and think. It has served me well. When I moved back to Wharton County, Texas, I returned to the church. I finally settled in a little church that is filled with good, Christian people. I bought an English Standard Bible, as I was told that it is one of the most reliable translations. It is a word for word translation from the texts that were used to create the King James Bible. Years earlier, I had read the book The History of God'. It was very enlightening concerning what happened at Nicea. Read More Read Less
