Reverend Andi

-

Congratulations to my good friend, Andi Wittwer, who was installed last Sunday as the pastor of the Woodland Wesleyan Church.

Andi has cut back her work schedule (managing at Hardware Hank) to four days a week (ten hour shifts) so she can have both Wednesdays and Sundays off in order to pastor this little northwoods congregation.
Her husband (and my barber) Ron, is a kind and loving man. He has overwhelmingly supportive of Andi's calling and is her number one cheerleader.

The good folks in the Danbury area are in for a real treat -- and lots of faith adventures! God is going to do some special things through this beautiful couple.

    Congratulations Andi!!!

    From the brief Biography it is apparent that this couple is not afraid to work. With these kind of work ethics along with a love of God, they will be successful in this new challenge.

    Wow, Mark you are such a nice guy. We are so excited to work at Woodland which is a delightful and welcoming community. People have told me that there is nothing in that neck of the woods but I want to inform you that it is teeming with friends! I plan to find them all as soon as possible. Andi

    Ron, is a kind and loving man.

    When Ron cuts hair,
    The words he says and the love he gives has just as big(sometimes bigger)impact on all he comes in touth with.

    Good luck to both of you.

    I agree with anonymous III. What Ron does on a daily basis will be a great ministry. In fact, what Andi does outside the church will influence the community more than her preaching.

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

Apostles and Earrings

I wonder if this belonged to one of the apostles? Simon the Zealot strikes me as the kind of guy who would wear an earring. I recall the time, when I was graduating from seminary, I received an invitation to start a new congregation in a college town. In the letter, they outlined the vision, the demographics of the community, and their expectations for the pastor. The letter ended with a p.s. -- "and of course, your wife will not be permitted to wear earrings." They forgot say anything about ME wearing earrings. For a while, I was tempted to go ahead, take the position, and get my ear pierced.
