Letter from the Pastor

March


    This is the time of year I think a lot about trying to achieve a correct balance in my life. Trying to obtain this is important to me to ensure that I don’t on the one hand miss doing that which is important and central to my calling, but on the other hand, run around like the preverbal headless chicken, outwardly appearing busy but in reality getting nothing of importance done.
   This is the second reason why I go out hunting in the mountains from time to time because it has the effect of clearing my head enabling me to see more clearly the various activities that I must give priority to as I go about my ministry.
   I want to encourage each of you too, to set aside some time and space to think through your own priorities. Achieving the right balance between your personal devotional life as a Christian, your family, work or whatever is important, even necessary to your survival in the rest of 2010.
   Don't be afraid of giving the chop to superfluous activities in your life to achieve the most important. After all what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but to lose his life.

        God Bless,
