Hurting people

Last night, my friend Mike and I went to meet with young couple. I took them out to eat and get some coffee. Why? Because the church that had employed them as pastors turned them loose with no warning. Middle of winter, etc.. Their home was the parsonage. Their family included a 3 month old child. Now, I had probably should have been surprised but I have seen this so many times in this town it makes my head hurt. What defines success as a minister? I can no longer go there. So, 5 people are displaced by a board that needs to be replaced in my humble opinion. On the other hand I was allowed to speak life, prophesy to the down trodden and help them begin healing and rebuilding.

More and more it reminds me of why I must contend for reformation of the church.

Tina and I are headed out to vote and then I have a meeting to discuss politics. Hmmmm.

Waiting for answers on our altar pricing and working on getting paperwork, etc., done.
