I certainly believe it is a good idea for those who feel moved to do it.
Our personal testimony, the story of how we came to believe and how God has
worked in our life, always serves to encourage fellow believers, as Burgy's
encouraged and blessed me.
This will take me some time, especially following nos. 1 and 4 of Burgy's
excellent guidelines,
"being:
(1) brief,
(2) accurate & truthful
(3) comprehensive as to significant things and
(4) not boring".
