So momma had to be at work this morning at 11 am so I didn't have a way to church. I had just recently started attending church a few miles from the house. My 3 year old was upset that we wasn't going so I decided we would just ride the John Deere down the road to a small country baptist church about a 1/2 mile from home. We pulled up and everyone was smiling and laughing at us and I asked if they had room for a couple sinners this morning lol. They all got a big kick out of us and I was given the nickname " George Jones" for traveling around on a tractor. After church they went down to my creek and did some baptisms including myself who got saved! So otw home I was soaking wet and driving a lawn mower. Good times and one I will never forget!

Here we are parked at the church

[PA318Guy]

You probably aren't the first person to show up at church on a tractor of some sort!

Congrats, JohnnyReb may the good Lord bless you!!! That's just awesome!!!

Luke 15:10
Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

That is a great story. Your 3 year old will always remember it as well !

 

[JohnnyReb]

Thanks guys. It was a awesome experience. I hear ya about the donkey :thThumbsU

Another heart warming thing was a young autistic boy who could barely even speak was saved and Baptized. His courage is what inspired me to follow behind him. After the baptism he gave me a rock from the creek as a souvineer of where we were saved. In return I let him take a spin along the creek bank on my 318. It really made his day and mine as well

This is the best story Ive heard in quite sometime! Congrats on your salvation! We had two souls saved at my church this morning also! God is Good!!! Its not about where you start, its about where you finish and it doesnt matter how you get there haha. I love an old country church, was raised up attending one. Congratulations again and always remember Phil. 4:13.

Congrats on your Baptism!:thThumbsU

Growing up I can't count the number of times I drove Dad's 4020 to church! Of course I had to work with it afterwards, but still counts.

That's awesome. I used to ride my LA150 to the fairgrounds up the street when my brother practiced football up there. This reminds me of The Straight Story, except you don't have a trailer, aren't going to a different state, and aren't driving a '66 RF 110.

Last week I took my X740 down to my fiances grandparents place, about 1/2 a mile down the road from us. I showed up there and her Grandpa says "oh...you brought your machine" I said yea, why the heck not, it's a fun ride! He paused for a moment and said "yea...I guess your right, why not?!" haha.

Going to Church on a JD, probably more dependable than a car!

 

[nkaust]

Congratulations brother

 

[ecave]

Great story all the way around! Congrats friend!
