I haven't been keeping up with this lately. Trying to find a house in MS, sell our house here, pack, and still run a "normal' routine for the boys is quite overwhelming.
We had dinner with our pastor and his wife last night. They are very dear friends and probably will be missed the most of anyone here. They hold a special place in our family's heart that will never be replaced. They have been there through the birth of all 3 boys, come to our house at midnight to watch Lucas while we took Noah to the emergency room, met us in downtown Atlanta at 6am when Lucas had tubes in his ears, met us in the emergency room many other times to pray with us, and just have basically taken us in as "one of their own."
They are both the most humble people I have ever met. He is so transparent and real---the same from the pulpit as he is in person. Not to proud to admit when he's struggling or fallen short of what God has for him. That's quite rare in churches today. She is the greatest example of a Proverbs 31 woman I know.
Speaking of preachers.....
Why is it that so many pastors today seem to have a "star quality" about them while preaching? I'm talking about those whose voice changes the minute they step up to speak. Those who sit in their office of their mega-church (I have nothing against large churches, but that's another blog), try to think of catchy one-liners to use in their next message, and collect their 6 digit salary. Is that what our Lord had in mind when the New Testament church started? Personally, I don't think so.
Well, that's my soap box for the night. Guess I'm off to bed.
