http://www.prgary.com Information and Opinions on Subjects of Interest to Me Sun, 11 Dec 2011 01:57:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 http://www.prgary.com/comment-page-1/#comment-110 Brenda Sun, 11 Dec 2011 01:57:37 +0000 http://www.prgary.com/?page_id=2#comment-110 Gary, I have much to learn of the Wausau community. I would appreciate other community news/activities as the Weston Bus Project. I really believe our place as pastors are as much in the community, if not more, than in the church building. I have a saying which is figurative in that the walls of our churchs need to be broken down. It bogles my mind to think of all the money needed to maintain our church buildings. I tried sharing my thought at a conference where Chicago staff were and other were to blame and the subject shut down. It is very differnet and would mean change, but it would not need to be so painful. Being disabled physically has pen some window into the unchurched. Maybe i can share the idea with you some day when you're feeling better. Do take care! Shalom, Brenda Ertl Gary,

I have been distressed that the political disagreements between me and a very good friend of mine would prove to be the end of our relationship. I am reminded, now, that that does not have to be the case. I forwarded this sermon to her and I have hope that our relationship will remain just as strong as ever, if not more so. Thank you.
