Hello my name is Jack

[JacobsLadder]

I am a devout Christian.

I am a widower of advancing years and split my time between helping my Church and playing golf.

I also spent 15 years in prison for a crime I did not commit.

I am looking forward to meeting fellow Christians.

hi, and welcome to CFnet. I hope you enjoy your time here.

 

[JacobsLadder]

Thanks very much.

Pull up a chair and get comfy. Read a bunch and share where you believe that you can.

 

[JacobsLadder]

Thanks John,

Nice to meet you.

 

[JohnDB]

And if you are a "widower of advancing years"...
You got "women problems".

Yep...

They won't leave you alone for nothing.

Hiding out on the golf course won't keep them all away. (But it does thin the herd a bit)

A pastor at my church lost his wife to cancer a year ago. He has women problems as well. They still wish to bring him dinner or lunch or something else that they think he might like. (He does like to eat)

I was thinking about starting a pool for when he picks one.

Hullo Jack, very nice to meet you mate! I live in America so why am I using British lingo? I absolutely have no idea (my catchphrase) LOL probably because I love the Brits so much! Anyway, my name is April and I have the reputation as official forum jester. Anywho,... my fiancee is currently in prison for a crime that he did not commit so he would probably know how you feel more than anybody. Anyway, welcome to christianforums.net! I hope that you enjoy your time here and find everything that you're looking for!

Hi Jack ..

 

[Razeontherock]

'Ello, Jack! (See April, that's how it's done, lol)

 

[JacobsLadder]

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone.

And um.. I don't talk like Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins.

LOL! Blimey mate, I'm sorry! LOL I'm just kidding, sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyway, welcome and for the record, I absolutely love Mary Poppins! For its just pratically perfect in every way. The only reason why I say pratically like that is because the Lord is the only one who is actually perfect. I'm still not sure what I will think about the new remake by the way.

Gee, I hope you didn't catch that time for one of the crimes they never caught me for.

Don't mind us Jack, we try to inject some levity here when we can. It offsets the serious nature of most of the conversations.

Why is it that whenever you say something to me, I always have to look some part of it up afterwards to figure out what the heck you're talking about? Lol! Couldn't you have just told him that we're a couple of goofball instead? It would have been a whole lot easier. Lol

I guess I should clear up why I was in prison.

I rented a car under a false name in my mid twenties to drive long distance to see a girlfriend. I was in debt at the time and was concerned about bailiffs finding me.

I stopped for the night at a stupid in the middle of nowhere place. I was woken up by cops busting through the door and arresting me for armed robbery. Some guys had stolen the car, robbed a bank and burned the car.

They thought because I had used a false name that I was involved and pressed me to name my accomplices. When I couldn't they just pinned it all on me. The car hire fingered me and I had no legal representation or alibi. I was screwed.

Prison was a defining moment for me. Thankfully I found God and He gave me the strength to carry on.

I hear you brother. For I was once a cyber bully myself as well as in my real life and as lost as I could possibly ever get. However through the blood of Christ all my sins were washed away and forgotten. I have been made new and reborn through my baptism. Praise the Lord for His everlasting love, mercy, and grace. For I certainly don't deserve it.
