There are those that can see something way in advance and we call those people prophets.
There are those who can see something before it happens, and we call those people wise men.
Then there are those that can see something while is it happening, we call those people visionaries.
Then, there are those that that could not see it until after it happened, we call those people fools.
Finally, there are those that could not see it at all, we call those people politicians.

Sitting at SCC. Augusta GA
They are going multi site. Awesome. I would love to be a part. I pray God opens a door for us soon. He has to make the stars align like only he can. I think I am ready. Kris

missing jewel of worship........
Just wondering if you are still out there and if you have the courage to step up. I still have what you wrote in Feb of '06.
i am on a journey
I remember when i used to have a bunch of readers on this. Things have changed. I don't ever know if I will be on staff at a church again. Trying to find a guy you can trust to work for and knows what he wants is hard. This journey has had some crazy turns in it, I am glad the destination has not changed. The best things are the relationships I have made too bad they are all over the place. Kris

Just get a divorce.
I can’t move back in with Mom and Dad.
I can’t move in with my kids and burden them.

Friend Day @ New Life Community Church
During worship today the question occured to me.... "what really matters to me".
Things in this life that really matter to me. After about 5 min. Worth of thought.
1. Truth
2. Sincerity
3. Wife
4. Josiah and Hannah
5. Honesty
6. Being able to connect with God
I may add more to these later.
Moved by God's presence,
Kris

This is true...
If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall end in certainties.
