"We have challenges to address in the next two months as to how we will organize ourselves to enable us to be an effective presence in ministry and service." Pastoral Blog's previous post

We are now two months into that time frame. It is amazing how the good Lord keeps the mind clear, the life pure, the heart quick and the mind focused when He is at work! So often we can get into a funk, feel a bit discouraged, or sense the task is more than we can handle. True enough, I believe, if we go at it alone. However, the congregation met on April 25, and prayed. Tuesday night the bible study group has met and prayed. The Elders have met three times in the last six weeks, and prayed. Every day I close also in prayer. In essence, it doesn't seem that anyone is trying to "go at it alone," and progress is happening!

This week our Session's report for stabilizing the church and transitioning to a structure necessary to address the expanding ministries in our church is being mailed. It is also being posted on the web site (www.pioneerpresbyterian.org. There is clarity in the process and agreement that the goals are reasonable and attainable.

Maybe we call take to heart a lesson. The closer we keep our consciousness with the divine essence of creation, the more full, uplifting, complete, successful our lives become. It really isn't a mystery. Fact is we were made as spiritual beings, so it follows, that living in closeness to the one spiritual entity that made us spiritual will only make life more of what it is supposed to be.

I look forward to the great adventure ahead. Keep up the prayers. Keep up the commitment. Together, let our lives soar as on eagles wings! (By the way, that's not an original concept of mine. Isaiah had that revelation centuries ago.)
