Drum Roll


At this point I would like to give you an update.  No bells, no whistles, no fanfare.  Well, maybe just a bit of fare.  But as most of you know, we have been wrestling with the decision whether to stay at our home and end the interim pastoral position, or whether we should continue pastoring at the little coastal church.

So, here is it.  The ultimate deciding factor as mentioned in the last blog, was this question. “Which decision is the riskiest step of faith?”  And there apparently was a follow-up question.  “Is there more to do there?”

The answer to the last question seemed to be “yes”.  We always sensed that we were supposed to be there for a season.  And that has not changed.  But it seemed like we weren’t quite finished yet.  So apparently we are entering another season.  And that season places us full-time at the coast. 

Jesus tells us that believers are to “go into all the world and make disciples”.  And He says at the end of that great commission, “and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” 

So for us, the call seems to have been, “and lo, I am with you always, even at the edge of the ocean.”

Looks like we have some packing to do.
