So I've done this once before but that topic's long gone, so I guess it's time to introduce myself again!
Tell us what church you go to
I don't have a church anymore. I used to go to this non-denominational one where people sang Amy Grant songs and drank grape juice. I don't think y'all would approve... seems like the kind of place you'd consider lukewarm. Oh, they also used the New Living Translation instead of the KJV1611.
and what your favorite Bible verse is
Mine's an unusual one to be sure:
When I was a little kid, I had an experience where I woke up and felt a heavy weight upon me, and when I opened my eyes, the ugliest bearded midget I ever saw was sitting on my chest and almost touching noses with me. I was afraid of the dark back then, so I had a flashlight under my pillow, and I grabbed it and shined it at that thing and it ran off screaming.
I was screaming too, as you can imagine, and that thing sounded like ET when he screams. Anyway, as the midget hopped off my bed and ran out the back door, I shined my flashlight and saw it had hairy goat legs. Even though I was scared to death, I opened the back door and followed it, and I didn't see it because it was already long gone, but I could still hear its hooves hitting the asphalt as it made its escape.
So there's my satyr story. Everything I've read about satyrs over the years says they're fairy tales and myths... everything except the Bible, and I know what I saw that night. I usually don't tell this story anymore because I get laughed at when I do.
I don't know what I believe spiritually, but on this the Bible and I are in 100% agreement!
and how you came to find Jesus.
I'm in Texas, so Jesus has always been there. When I was a kid, I went to school with these Mexican kids that wore shirts where Jesus had His bloody heart sticking right out of His chest, but He just had a big smile on His face like he didn't even notice this horror was happening to Him. He looked like He'd been to the Temple of Doom and had lots of fun.
Oh, and about my screen name... in another topic, Dr. Toole took umbrage with it, and I can see why, but it's not at all like it sounds. I remember it came from a movie I'd seen shortly before I arrived here last time... a wholesome old Western film about fellowship, though I unfortunately can't remember the name of it.

But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. - Isaiah 13:21
