I know that I don’t write on this blog as much as I should. Some of that has been because of the things going on in my life with us getting to our daughter and I promise to write about that soon. That said, today I want to write a touch about the nature of the denomination I work within and will continue to do so.
Every four years our global church known as United Methodists get together and work out the details of the legislative organization of our church. We worship together, come prepared to talk about proposals and then vote to keep or change our policies. If this does not sound familiar then keep thinking about our government or any large not for profit out there. We all have ways to talk, debate and set our policies.
What many people spend their time on is the crazy things that happen any time you put 1000 or so people in a room to make choices. What is really important is that God is being allowed to work through them and through their choices. Not all of the decisions that are made will be the ones I want but if I trust in God then I can trust that God will use them all to his glory. So I simply ask that you who read this pray for our church and for Gods riches and glory.
