Church and Sweet Tea

    I have known two churches now that have hired MBAs as their administrators. Both churches had horrible experiences with the MBAs not being able to work in a church environment. In one church, the MBA lasted less than a year, and in that year, was able to completely mess up every part of the job. In the other church, the MBA, even though a Christian, was so business like, that church lost its sense of Christian responsibility in its business practices, especially towards employees. My suspicion is that these churches hired poorly and that MBAs can really do a good job with church administration.

    In our community, West Point Stevens, a textile company, is shutting down its two mills in our community (and moving them to China). This will put an estimated 600 people or more out of work. Several of these employees dropped out of school to work for the mill. The mill has been their lively hood and for many, it is the only job they have ever had. There is a wonderful government program that will pay for their education for two years in order to learn new skills to find a job in today’s marketplace. The only problem is that you must have a GED or high school diploma to get into these schools. There is a GED training center in Valley and Opelika, but in order to get in, the test taker must score close to the GED passing grade. Otherwise, the GED hopeful has nowhere to turn. online pharmacy without prescriptionbuy silverbuy detoxbuy italian charmsdownload softwareonline pharmacy no prescriptioncanadian pharmacydownload moviesfarmacia en lineainternet drugstoremovie downloadmexican pharmacybuy gift basketsbuy levitrabuy hoodiaprescription drugsdownload moviebuy dvdcheap auto insurancebuy jewelrybuy jewelry onlinecheap online pharmacybuy alcohol testdownload filmdownload musicdownload mp3prescription drugsbuy notebook batterydownload moviesonline pharmacybuy charmsbuy piercingpiercingflash games onlinebuy propecia onlinesearchpiercingno prescription pharmacyonline pharmacyonline pharmacy no prescriptiondownload moviescanadian pharmacybuy soma onlinebuy carisoprodol onlineitalian charmsindian pharmacybuy viagra onlinegeneric viagra onlinebuy levitra onlinegeneric cialis onlineonline pharmacy without prescriptionno prescription online pharmacytransformers movieeuropean online pharmacyprivate porn moviesbuy phentrimine onlineonline pharmacy no prescriptionbuy jewelry onlinejewelry shopsilver shophealth articlespass a drug testbuy oem softwareeuropean pharmacydvd movies

This article is the second in a series that will be my effort to respond to two people who visited my site searching for answers to why they were “tired” and “weary” of the church.  

One of the reasons we grow tired and weary of the church is that we warp our minds to think that Christians are perfect. We tend to expect Christians to act like saints only to discover that no one is perfect. The truth is that we are all on the road to perfection. There are many bumps along the way. (more…)

        One of my best friends is David Smith. He is a missionary, sharing God’s love with the street kids of Lima, Peru. I try to see him whenever he comes home to visit. A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go and spend the day with him back in our old home town. His grandfather recently passed away, and one of our stops was to visit his grandmother. I have always claimed them as a third set of grandparents. It was a great visit, and we took a stroll down memory lane, looking at several photo albums from my high school years. As a family friend, I was in several pictures, and so were several others from our church youth group. We recalled the wonderful times we shared with our youth group. We were a very close community.
