It has been TOOOOO long since I have been to church, not that it hasn't been in my mind more and more each week. Pastor Mark and the whole church family were there for me when I needed them most, and for that I will never forget!! I will continue to pray for Cathy and your family as I know that you have prayed for us more times than we will ever know!!! Maybe this is the "push" that God and my family in heaven is trying to get me to understand. Ya just never know how he will work next. You have always been there for me (God, church, family) and now it is my turn to step up to the plate and find my place (where ever that may be). Pastor Mark, your cheerful, positive and positively humors outlook on life is what must have drawn your lovely bride to you. She is a lucky lady to have you and your family. I wish you all the best, and hope it won't be long and Cathy can quit eating jello!!!
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
Chad Smith, a creative, unconventional pastor from Alabama, is selling himself on e-bay. Bidding is up to $2.25 now -- with $3000 for shipping. This causes deep concern. If this thing works, there will be a FLOOD of churches putting their pastors up for sale.
Dear Kathy & Mark:
ReplyDeleteWe rejoice that everything is looking up. God is SOOOOO Good!
Love, Genevieve & Perry
So glad that Cathy is doing great! God is taking care of your family! Take care!
