I have found engagement difficult

I'm nearing 84 years. God called me late in life. I'm deeply indebted to him, especially for discovering apuritansmind.
Recently I read a statement by Dr. McMahon with reference to the lack of passion for Christ among his people. Like Dr. McMahon I have this passion; I have a deep need to engage those who feel as I do. In over ten years I have met with only a handful. Can some relate to this?

Dear Sir,

I haven't gone 10+ years... but as an Army Chaplain I get very little engagement with folks at either an intellectual or spiritual level.

That's why I'm glad the PB is here to scratch that itch!

Welcome to the family! I hear that in this company you may get paid just as much if you start late as the folks whe started early!

Be faithful with the people and circumstances God has given you right now. That is the "who" and "what" you are, by God's grace to engage (and ask Him to help you be thankful for them).
