Having struggled in my life time, I would like to think of Church as a peaceful place, no I know it is a peaceful place. I am at ease when at Church, it like all the burdens of life are gone or cannot find me, like a child in a TV box in the living room. I want that feeling to continue but it take work, money and a hugh effort by many to acheive this and this worrys me. We need to grow (not members but the entire Church needs to be reconstructed) and this is concerning. Debt scares older people, I want to be here to see the results. I have thought about this for a long time and read this blog many times and you are very observant. seeya.
