Long before you were born I was helping my father on the farm. It was a warm summer day and I spent the entire day driving the old tractor round and round the field. I always liked to drive the tractor. It gave me time to think. I had recently begun to question my atheism. Somehow it didn't make sense anymore. I don't know what it was but there was a drabness over me. Just a mild funk The sun was bright the weather warm. The wind was just strong enough to keep the mosquitoes but I was not content. I had driven tractor for years and this was the first time I felt this way. Hours later the sun was sinking low in the west and I still was not myself. I shut the tractor off and went for a walk trying to shake my funk. I crossed the barbwire fence and was soon on some native prairie wool. The fresh smell of the grass didn't help. I turned and looked at my foot prints squinting into the setting sun. A little white stone peeked out at me from the grass and I walked over to it. I have no idea why but I knelt by that little white rock and in that moment my mind was opened. i whispered the words "Jesus forgive me". Immediately the funk was lifted the world looked and sounded different. I lept to my feet and began to run. A mile later without breaking a sweat I burst through the door of the old farm house. My mother was concerned. My wife was concerned. I phoned an old pastor that I didn't know from a church I never attended. He asked me and my wife to come visit him. We did and he explained that in that moment by the rock I had been born again. He took me to the nearby creek and in the name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit he baptized me immersing me in the murky water. I had become a Christian and I KNEW that God was real because at that little white rock I had met Him.
