Mid life crisis

Perhaps what happened to me was a gradual response to the usual
mid-life crisis we mostly experience around forty.
Up to then I was career bent,active sports player both usually some way
ahead of my family life demands yet i was dis-satisfied ...something
was definitly lacking within.
I started to notice creation blooming in the local countryside and also
stirring questions inside which I tried to solve inmy usual pattern by
reading all kinds of books to try to answer my questions why why
!
Being a regular "matcho" male type I kept these things to myself and
eventually at the age of 48 purchased a gold cross and announced to my
wife I was a Christian ...but one on my own...kind of self contained
and the thought of
church was a "no no " as far as I was concerned.
A few months later over drinks at a post Christmas party somone
listened to an amplified version of this tale of mine(as you do at such
gatherings)and he invited me to a group of folks that met fortnightly
at his house .The man
I sat next to was a real friendly guy and genuinely interested in me.It
was thru this experience i found the Jesus expresses his love here and
now thru the lives of his followers and my subsequent Christian life
has confirmed this to be true.
So if you are in the forty bracket listen up if it happened to me maybe
it could happen to you.
