Bloody nose on the closed door... flying out the window

Well, if you'll reference a previous post entitled "New Outlook On Life" this post will make more sense.

So, in light of meeting God in the middle of the highway, Dr. Chuck Lynch founder and president of Living Foundation Ministries in Blue Springs, MO invited me to join him in minstry. It is quite comforting to know that someone of Dr. Lynch's stature has confidence in me. I will be doing some mass-media work for him as well as some counseling.

Pray for me as I fasten my seat belt and take off on this new adventure with God and the staff at L F M.

O B T W, check out the website I will be responsible for by clicking on the link to the right.

Until next time, Via con Dios!

True or false?

I'm just probing cyberspace for opinions.

So, true or false?
Do people aged 50+ have any place in church these days?
Have people 50+ outlived their usefulness in church?
Should people 50+ retire from participation at church other than warming a pew on Sunday morning?
Is there a generation gap in churches these days?

What think you on these things?

New Outlook On Life

Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. Our summer has been especially busy. First, Zoe's birth (1st grandchild!) then Scout Camp then Flagstaff then Aldersgate then Becky's wedding... now the kitchen is all torn up to paint etc. Anyway it seems like just yesterday that Nancy was off for the summer. Now her contract starts next week and she has already been out to school to get her classroom ready.

I wanted to put something on here about my experience at Aldersgate '06 in Springfield, Ill. I left home very angry over a lot of things. I've been in this place for some time now. The biggest deal was the loss of my candidacy into licensed pastoral ministry. This still nags at me quite a bit... but... it is dead and I just need to get over it... anyway... back to Aldersgate- usually I go each year to learn something to use in ministry... something to teach others... this year it seemed as though I should look out for #1 if you will. I began the conference asking God to deal with me in regards to my hurt, disappointment and anger. Well, to make a long story short, He did in fact hear my prayer and began dealing with me. I decided to jump right in front of His grace and let it hit me head on. I honestly believe a healing has begun in my life and am looking forward to what God has in store for me. We are so conditioned to not "play in the highway"... it is hard for me to stand in the middle of God's highway and hope and pray that He hits me head on. But that's where I intend to be. Until next time, Via con Dios!
