Thank you so much for your reply! Sigh... I'm sure going to miss this thread over this extended weekend.

Now I do appreciate opportunities for learning, but there also needs to be opportunities for doing. (Other than just the children's and music ministries!) But if you are not a professionally credentialed clergyman, or at least very well connected, there isn't much for one to do in today's church.

I know exactly what you mean! It was great working with 4^th graders at church and all the small adult groups and such - but it didn't feel like any serious progress was being made.

My daughter and I have taken to witnessing where we happen to be, trusting God to open the doors for us. We don't go from door to door, hand out literature and such. Rather we enter every conversation whether at work or elsewhere, with the expectation that any minute a door might open.

Amazing how often that happens! She works with a lot of agnostics and atheists in biomedical research on campus. She doesn't pound them over the head with Scriptures, but every now and then a door opens so she can say something important, plant a seed.

See 'ya next Monday or Tuesday!
