I've been swamped... I've struggled with this one. The congregation we are a part of has had some REALLY tough struggles. Michelle and I have thought about bailing more than once. We look around at the struggle, the bitterness of some and how hard things have been and we wonder why we stay. So far, we've persevered. I'm glad we have. Our congregation is smaller, but higher quality - more loving. Some people have bailed to go to more restrictive pastures but we now have a core group of people that want to stay, want to work, want to grow. So far perseverance has paid off. Thanks JH Can you tell that I’m catching up on blog reading? I’ve been swamped…
