Anymore, I'm finding relationships are where it's at when preaching in another pulpit or simply reaching the lost and hurting. Don't get me wrong, orgs have their place. I'm not sure I have a place in orgs. My relationship with God, family and my pastor is good enough for me.

I had been around it all for quite some time when all that happened and still was blindsided. Not about little complaints and all but a group going behind your back to complain about something that I had no idea about. Got to admit it stung pretty bad.
In the end I couldn't get over how jealous and envious folks that where suppose to be your brothers and sisters in the Lord could be.
