    When you do delegate a job, you should be willing to give up control of that job.

    Pastor Mark, we are looking at some of this as an LBA right now - - - I'd like to "pick" your brain a bit. Would you mind going to my profile page and sending me an e-mail to which I can reply? (I don't find e-mail on your profile)

    Thanks - - - no need to take up your comment space here with the discussion.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

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
