Update
Wow...I'm really doing well at this. I just looked at the blog and realized I haven't posted since March. No margins in my life, eh?
Since we moved here, we looked for those who might be meeting in their home but to no avail. We don't have the umph to start something in our own so we began visiting local "legacy" churches. I like that name for them. I think I saw it for the first time in Felicity Dale's, An Army of Ordinary People.
We finally found one where we felt God wanted us to stay for more than one meeting. It's a small 4-square church with perhaps 20 adults and about the same number of kids. Typical of most small churches, we are financially struggling to make building payments and a few people in the fellowship have recently lost their jobs, sadly due to other believers in their workplace. Most here have a deep walk with God (I guess that's my view of it). And, there is a real sense of community here. Along with prayer on Thursday nights, we usually get together with some of the folks during other times of the week.
I think that a lot of this job loss is something that God is using to bring us together with more of a sense of community. Someone jokingly said, "Gee, maybe we should all sell our places and move in together!" I thought to myself that it probably would be where God was pushing us but i didn't vocalize the thought. I'm wondering if this is a part of a path to seeing the power of God.
...more later, ha...who knows when that might be.
Bill,
It's good to see you posting again.
