I guess I am used to larger churches.In Louisiana there are alot of smaller churches but then there are the larger ones like Baton Rouge and Alexandria
and Shreveport etc.I guess there are alot of larger ones too.Florida is on
the rise in attendance as well.Texas has some wonderful large churches.
I loved the Kilgores work.There were also other large congregations when
we lived there.I don't know what the attendance runs now.Brother Strange
would know.I am just used to going to church and minding my own business
and praising the Lord and trying to be a blessing. Truthfully it may bother you more than them.

On this you are probably right! Like I said earlier, I was too long in the system to know exactly what others may be thinking. It's hard knowing all the myriad ideas that run through folks' minds...while I'm sure there's a form of love and acceptance on the outside, the inside forms other ideas...from pity, or contempt, to being thought of as a lesser Christian, or a backslider.
I have run into very few people that can actually accept me the way I am as an equal.
Even Roxanne stated she would pray me back through to a Holy Ghost renewal.
