"If all's not lost...where is it?"

Latest from Donny is that they were still fighting off some bleeding internally. Wow, I'm really praying hard that he's going to be alright.

I'm glad we can "discuss" things like playing out. At my old church, there was no discussion. You were told "do this," and you had no choice, or you were labeled as someone who was not a "team player." What a mind game. No personal opinion counted. The vision was never talked about...it was "handed" to you... Maybe things up hear sometimes "echo" memories we'd all like to forget, but Crosspoint has been a breath of fresh air to me... I like that we can agree...disagree...whatever... But it helps to pound out the issues and either get back on the same page or arrive at some consensus.

I hope that anyone who reads this knows that Crosspoint is human. We don't pretend to not have issues from time to time. We don't pretend things are always easy. But, we will try with all our might to not become something that removes all "good" from a church... we've all seen that too much before...

BTW, E.. was Big John the same Big John Sheffield we all know? I didn't know he was a gamer...

On other notes, I found a quote today that sometimes sums up all our "debt/financial" issues: "It's not hard to meet expenses...they're everywhere."
