They are not unusual, I think, but they have unique consequences for each person. My old pastor once said that if you see something needing to be done and no one is doing it, then you need to do it. I have chickened out of that one several times because I did (do) not trust God enough with my well being. Seeing something around you that is dissatisfying can be a frustrating experience. One thing I have notices about missions support is that there is more interest when there is less participation required. It is a distillation process of faith, trust and courage in a body of believers. Seeing a lack of commitment to our community here in Baker just means that your heart is here, while others' hearts are in completely different places. My encouragement is to find others with a like mind, because you can not change people's minds. Was that a ramble? Probably. Take it for what it's worth.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I love hearing about your boys. Autumn is starting to feel our baby move now too.<BR/><BR/>AaronBig Poppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720963350070586144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2665383349186419180.post-38042502338691477802008-07-16T07:02:00.000-07:002008-07-16T07:02:00.000-07:00I completely agree with you about churches and tha...I completely agree with you about churches and that most of them seem to have lost their focus.
