With this being the Resurrection season, I have been very busy getting much done for the congregations at the church where i work. I don't like to use that as an excuse for not writing a thank you to Kathy Slamp for the wonderful seminar held recently in Portland, but truly, it is my reason, along with bad new regarding my own health. [What to they know! :)]
But I walked away from that seminar with a notebook filled with ideas, other new thought, and a desire to serve the three congregations (English, Spanish, and Samoan) better.
Recently, the little blue torn-up-put-back-together person I took from our group came to mind in a different way. Several women have left my place of worship, one of whom I had not realized I had put on such a pedistal. Each woman who left tore and took with her a piece of my heart, so I thought of how torn up I was.
It didn't take long, however, for me to realize that something unknown to me hurt each of those women. I also began to pray that wherever they went, they would glorify G-d and be ultra-productive there, in the grace of our Savior.
As they say, G-d is good all the time!

Thank you, Raina
It was my privilege to meet you and spend the day together. It is rewarding to know that you went home with new ideas and challenged--not only about your position at the church but as your life as a Christian.
God bless you richly
