Good Bye Big Church


I feel my time here is finished. I might on occasion drop in and read blogs and possibly occasionally post something, but no promises. LOL. (I will linger for a few days to respond to some ongoing comments on my blogs.)

I've enjoyed many friendships here - some who have already left BC and some who remain today.

I came here in a time of crisis. I was trying to cope with the ending of a 21 year marriage and leaving the pastorate after 14 years. Blogging was my outlet.

Now, it seems BC has become a distraction to me getting on with my life. I tried to scale back a few months ago, but still find myself here too much.

Some of you have my personal email address. If you don't have it, and want to stay in touch with me, I will be happy to provide it.

I appreciate your prayers as I endeavor to seek His will and continue in this journey to heaven...

Solo Deo Gloria!!!

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - part of Jim Elliot's October 28, 1949 journal entry

Many on here have come for the same reason, including myself. It's been quite healing believe it or not. I do understand how it takes away from getting on with your life. Anything that has healed a heart is always hard to let go.

I will miss you too Jim! Or...

are you trying to tell me and others also to get the h... out of here too?

Do you really "know" if your presence here somehow "makes" a difference? If that little you may provide, still is helpful for others? Or do you think this is just the "wrong place" to provide anything at all???

I'm sure you got "disappointed" somehow, but...

wouldn't our "true Love" for the Lord always overcome any "obstacle"!

Blogging interfere with real life? But blogging is real life, isn't it?

I've got beautiful Azalea's in my yard. If I post a picture will you stay??

I also have the most beautiful Cherry Blossom pics - OH MY - breath taking. We have a festival here that is even bigger than Washington, I am told! We went with people from Church on April 23rd I think. Yea, think that was the date. After Church went on the last day to grab up the beautiful sight. I'll post pictures.

See now you must stay.

Oh, yea, I will also send you a picture of what my son saw when he exited his school each day while they were in bloom. Let me know if it's ok to text multimedia to your cell as I have that pic on my cell phone. I won't tell you, I'll just surprise you if you say it's ok. I was awestruck at the beauty and how blessed we were to see that and that he got to go to this school. It's been one blessing after another since he's been there!! PTL!!
