HI EVERYONE,

I HAD A GREAT WEEK END UP IN MICHIGAN LAST WEEK. I WENT ON 3 DAYS OF FISING
AND IT WAS GREAT. WE CAUGHT 98 FISH AND IT WEIGHTED OUT AT 35 POUNDS. WE
ONLY HAVE A FEW MORE WEEKS TO FISH BEFORE WE PUT THE BOAT AWAY FOR THE COLD
WINTER. GAIL AND I HAD A NICE VACATION IN AUGUST. WE WENT TO MACKINAC ISLAND
FOR A FEW DAYS. IF YOU EVERY GET UP THAT WAY YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE ISLAND. IT
WAS VERY NICE. I WAS THERE BACK IN 1955. JUST A FEW YEARS AGO. PLEASE PRAY
THAT THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT DINNERS WILL HAVE A LOT OF ATTENDANCE THIS YEAR. HOPE
TO SEE YOU THERE. I'M JUMPING AROUND TELLING AND THINKING OF THINGS TO TELL
YOU. MARGO AND ALI ARE DOING GREAT. WE DON'T SEE GREG TO MUCH. HE IS SO BUSY
AT HIS JOB. HE IS WORKING 10 TO 12 HOURS A DAY. THATS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOUR A
MANAGER.I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. HAVE YOU REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THE BLESSINGS
THAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN YOU AND ME. JUST GO BACK SEE WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU.
DIED FOR US AND ROSE AGAIN FOR US. NO OTHER PERSON HAS DONE THAT FOR US. WELL
I BETTER CLOSE FOR NOW. TAKE CARE AND WE WILL SEE YOU IN THE LORDS HOUSE ON
SUNDAY.

A CHURCH HAD A MAN IN THE CHOIR WHO COULDN'T SING.
SEVERAL PEOPLE HINTED TO HIM THAT HE COULD SERVE IN
OTHER AREAS, BUT HE CONTINUED TO ATTEND CHOIR PRACTICE.THE
CHOIR DIRECTOR BECAME DESPERATE AND WENT TO THE PASTOR. YOU'VE
GOT TO GET THAT MAN OUT OF THE CHOIR, " HE SAID. " IF YOU DON'T,
I'M GOING TO RESIGN. THE CHOIR MEMBERS ARE GOING TO QUIT, TOO.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING."
RELUCTANLY, THE PASTOR TOLD THE MAN, " PERHAPS YOU SHOULD LEAVE
THE CHOIR." WHY SHOULD I GET OUT OF THE CHOIR? HE ASKED.
" WELL, PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME YOU CAN'T SING."
" THATS NOTHING," THE MAN SNORTED. " FIFTY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME
THAT YOU CAN'T PREACH!"

2005-10-03T19:00:00.000-07:00

6:45 PM THE DAY AFTER THE BIG MEETING. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU FELT ABOUT THE
MEETING BUT I DON'T THINK WE SETTLED ANYTHING. THE ONLY THING THAT
ALL PARTIES AGREE IS THAT THE ELDER BOARD MADE SOME MISTAKES. THE
SCHOOL PARENTS WANTED THE ELDERS TO HELP IN THE PROBLEM THEY WERE
HAVING AT THE SCHOOL. THE ELDER BOARD DECIDED NOT TO INTERFERE WITH
THE SCHOOL PROBLEM. THAT I AGREE ON. BUT I STILL THINK THAT THEY
THE ELDER CHAIRMAN AND DICK JAHNS ARE PROTECTING THE PASTOR. PASTOR
RAY DIDN'T WANT TO FACE ALL THE QUESTION FROM THIS AND THE OTHER
PROBLEM WITH ABUSED WOMEN. AS OF NOW I THINK THAT A LOT OF THE
MEMBERS DON'T TRUST THE ELDERS. THEY KEPT SAYING WAIT UNTIL THE NEW
ELDERS COME ON BOARD. I SAY LETS GET STARTED NOW. DON'T WAIT ON THE
NEW BOARD. YOU ARE THE ONES THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM SO YOU MUST
START CLEANING IT UP. YOU HAVE TO START DOING SOMETHING SO THE
MEMBERS CAN START TRUSTING YOU. SHOW US WHAT YOU CAN DO.LETS START
THE HEALING PROCESS NOW. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO PRAY AND ASK
GOD TO HEAL US ALL AND THAT WE CAN PUT THIS BEHIND US AND GET ON WITH
DOING THE LORDS WORK AND THAT IS SAVING SOULS AND BRINGING PEOPLE
TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. SO PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH AND THE MEMBERS
AND THE ONES THAT HAVE GONE. PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL SPEAK TO THEM
AND OPEN THE MINDS AND HEARTS AND LET THEM KNOW TO GIVE CALVARY A
NEW TRY. THIS IS THE LORDS HOUSE AND THIS IS WERE WE ALL SHOULD BE.
OK I'M GONE LIKE OUT OF HERE.

6:59 PM SHOUT OUT TO MARGO/ALI, GREG, BOB/JUDY, ERNIE/JEAN, WAYNE/CATHERINA,

5:05PM HELLO CHRISTAIN FRIENDS. WHAT A NICE COOL DAY HERE IN CHICAGO. I WAS
READING A ARTICLE THAT READ " THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL HAS
BEEN TURNED OFF DUE TO BUDGET CUTS. THEN I THOUGHT WHAT IF GOD DID THAT
TO US. DO WE REALLY KNOW HOW LOST WE WOULD BE. ITS GOOD THAT WE HAVE A
GOD THAT REALLY LOVES US AND WILL KEEP THE LIGHT ON AT ALL TIMES. IT
DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE ARE BUDGET CUTS OR NOT. PRAISE GOD. THEN I READ
A CUTE JOKE.

THE REASON WE CAN'T HAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN A COURTHOUSE? YOU CAN'T
POST " THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, AND THOU
SHALT NOT LIE" IN A BUILDING FULL OF LAWYERS, JUDGES AND POLITICIANS. IT
CREATES A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT.

IT WAS A LITTLE LESS STRESSFUL DAY TODAY AT WORK. DON'T FORGET TO PRAY
FOR THE MEETING ON OCT 2 AT 6:30 PM. I SURE HAS A GREAT TIME THIS WEEK
END WITH OUR GRANDDAUGHTER. WELL I WILL CLOSE FOR NOW. SO I'M GONE.

DAVID HOY ON THE HOT SEAT. HE IS THE SPOKESMEN FOR THE ELDERS. NOW
THAT I LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE I THINK PASTOR RAY TOOK THE EASY WAY
OUT. HE DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE IT
WAS IN THE MAKING. BUT MOST OF ALL WE NEED TO PRAY AS A CHURCH THAT
THE MEETING WILL BE DONE IN A MATTER THAT IS PLEASING TO THE LORD AND
IT UPLIFTS HIM. I SURE HAD A GOOD TIME WITH THE GRANDDAUGHTER AGAIN.
SHE JUST LOVES ICE CREAM. SHE SURE MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD. SHE ALSO LIKES
