I too have wandered away from church, and am getting into going back. Instead of leading my family, as I"m instructed to do, my daughter (20) has invited ME to her church this morning! As convicted as that made me feel, I'm also grateful that she'd want her "old man" with her, and I'm excited about going.
God has never left my side thru my entire ordeal. Sadly, I left HIS, but that's going to change.
