Very good point Ryan....It is easy to lose your focus off of what really matters in our quest to be inovative and relevant. Being relavant attracts the crowd...Loving kids and building relationships with them builds disciples... Off the subject...Just a quick update on my decision to leave my current church in part time ministry (12 yrs) for a full time out of state position. First after a horrible 1st meeting with my Pastor the 2nd meeting went much better...By the 3rd meeting restoration took place and he is going to talk about it from the pulpit and even have me back in to minister to the congregation and kids...Praise God!!! Second I had quite a few offers from the area we feel called to at this time but only felt led to keep the door open with 2 of them. The one I didn't see myself going to (but the Lord made me keep the door open) is the one we believe God i calling us to. We are leaving this coming weekend for Columbia, SC for our final interview...I cancelled my trip to the other church because I feel so strongly about this and do not want them to waste 3 tickets on flying us across the country. If you would please continue to pray for us on this new season of our lives... Wow!!!
