In July. 1974, He called my name, inviting me to step outside and look upon His stars.
Nineteen years and some months later, He called me to become a Christian.

Author's Notes/Comments:
The title contains an allusion to Galatians 2:20.
The first line alludes to the incident that happened on a Friday night/Saturday morning in July, 1974. I was not then wise enough to make note of the exact date.
The second line alludes to His direct call to become a Christian on Sunday evening, January 9th, 1994, in a small Baptist chapel. I was, subsequently, baptized there on Sunday morning, the 16th.
On Holy Saturday, April 19th, 2014, I received Chrismation into the historic Faith of the Orthodox Church.
