He Was Ignorant!
ignorant
Main Entry:
ig·no·rant
Pronunciation:
\ˈig-n(ə-)rənt\
Function:
adjective
Date:
14th century
1 a: destitute of knowledge or education
My husband, Jeff, is a welder. This morning, he told me that last night, he was talking to a co-worker. This co-worker does not believe in God whatsoever. My husband stated to him that at one time, he was also ignorant about Jesus. Afterwards, he felt kind of bad because he wondered if he was too harsh with this co-worker by calling him ignorant. He didn't mean it in a negative way, but wondered if the co-worker would take it as an insult to him.
This morning, he found this verse:
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God." ~Romans 10:3
Upon reading the above verse, my husband felt relieved. He was only trying to express to his co-worker the same feelings that he himself felt before he accepted Jesus. Growing up, my husband was not exposed to Jesus, or the Bible, or anything of that nature. He was never taken to church, and as he grew older, he never had the desire to go to church or read the Bible, because he wasn't aware. He wasn't around people who could influence him to turn to Jesus. He was ignorant. It wasn't until about 12 years ago, when he was a welder in New Jersey, that he met someone who had recently been hired at my husband's job.
This man told my husband that he needed Jesus. That was the turning point for my husband. Jeff started a relationship with Jesus, started reading the Bible, and accepted Jesus Christ and was baptized in April 2004. He was no longer ignorant.
Sadly, after we moved to West Virginia, Jeff lost contact with this man who introduced him to Jesus. We've tried looking for him, without any luck. Hopefully, some day, we'll find him.
Stay close to Jesus!

Bible Verses
I suscribe to an application on my Facebook profile called Daily Bible Verses. From time to time, I plan on posting inspiring Bible verses.
Here is one of them:
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
~John 1:17

First Post!! How Exciting!!
Hi!! Thank you for reading my blog!!
My name is Kathy and I live in West Virginia. I moved here from New Jersey in 1998 and haven't looked back. I basically grew up in New Jersey and thought I would live there for the rest of my life, but after I met my future husband, and he brought me to WV for a few weekends at his mom's house, I fell in love with the state and knew that I didn't want to live in NJ anymore. So I packed up what I owned and moved to his mom's house, where I lived alone for 2 months before my future hubby moved down. His mom lived in New York at the time and told me that I could stay at her home in WV. So, I lived out in the middle of nowhere all by myself. To this day, I'm amazed that I was able to do it.
And now, here I am, 11 years later. We got married and we now have 2 daughters, who make us laugh every single day. They are 9 and 8 years old, and there is never a dull moment with them around.
My husband became saved in 2004 and rededicated his life to Jesus on May 17, 2009. I became saved on May 17, 2009 and am preparing to be baptized. We have been meeting with our pastor for lessons. Pastor Jim is a wonderful pastor. He is totally committed in his faith.
We go to a Baptist Church. I grew up as a Catholic, and for the past 15 years or so, I didn't go to church. My husband never went to church as a boy or young adult.
Together, and separately, we are growing in our faith. In my future blog posts, I hope to explain more about myself and how I was, and how it led me to be where I'm at today. I also would like to tell about my journey in being led to Jesus and becoming saved.
I hope that in telling about my experiences and my salvation, I can lead someone else to Jesus.
Until next time,
Stay close to Jesus!!
