\n

I am a semi-retired pastor having served the local church for over 35 years. \u00a0God\u2019s direction upon my life enabled my wife and I to serve in six ministry contexts in uniquely different parts of the country and gain a valuable breadth of perspective.\u00a0I\u2019ve seen the church at its alluring best, but I\u2019ve also witnessed her unsightly humanity. I still believe deeply in her and share these thoughts and observations in hopes they\u2019ll prove beneficial to others seeking to help her realize her possibilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
