So what are you gonna continue on FaceBook and Twitter? A environment where you have full authority and filter out and delete all posts from those that disagree with you?

Thanks to all for the good debates. I am bowing out of online debate for a few reasons:

1. My wife encouraged me to consider whether it was taking too much time and attention, and whether it was causing me to grow in Christ-likeness, or rather just make me feel prideful that I knew some stuff and could argue and wanted to prove I'm right.

2. She was right.

3. Usually, the conversations I have on here do not contribute to some better understanding of how to carry out my ministry to my wife, kids, and church...though some have, and i'm grateful for those, both those of you who agree & disagree with me have sharpened my thinking.


I leave you with the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite songwriters:

Sometimes it is important to weigh things. Also, to take things in moderation. I hope you will consider taking a sabbatical, then come and visit on occasion.

Good for you! Feels good, don't it?

I Think He Left The Building!

Folks...I think He REALLY is GONE....If he answers then that wouldn't have really been his FINAL POST...would it now? Still...it is a shame to lose the good ones. I could list a few I'd rather have seen go but......well...I'll shut up now. Thank God for our dear old Baptist Board in all its many-colored splendor!:thumbs: Later Bro.12 Strings....happy trails!

Twelve,
All I can say is to reflect some of the thoughts above. I believe we have had one or two disagreements, but your posts have always been civil and edifying. I can distinctly remember feeling ashamed of how I responded to one of your posts to someone who has always been kind to me.

The thing is, I wish you would reconsider. Your departure weakens the whole board, because some who hang around (no names), do nothing but start threads to inflame, whereas yours serve a spiritual purpose. If you choose to follow through with your decision, I certainly wish the Lord's blessing on your ministry, family and life. No doubt you have made a positive difference in many lives. Thank you for your patience and forgiveness.

Is it the Way the MASTER would have handled it?

As trite as it may sound, LOVE is the way of the MASTER.... it is MERCY, upon MERCY, upon MERCY. And we learn this through our interactions with others. We must learn how to keep giving & dying & getting hurt & trying again & overcoming the obstacles--- it's terribly humbling to love. Thats why the proud person cannot love or grow.

We all need to be gracious & wish this guy our best in his ministry....Im sure he did not come to his decision lightly & he will use his time wisely in Gods kingdom. Gods speed to you Andy & blessings to you , your family & your ministry.

PS: Andy try this suggestion: Zeppelin "Shout to the Lord" ROFL

As Relayed To Me Via A PM From Bro.12 Strings......

LOOPHOLE
HERE IS MY RESPONSE VIA SALTY'S "LOOPHOLE"...if Gregory wants to Post it:

ALL: Thanks for the well-wishes.

PLAIN'N'SIMPLE: Yes, I did leave before, and came back after a couple months...However I believe this will be longer; as I am realizing I really need to invest more in the people I actually know...and I have a tendancy to get too "into" things like this and give too much time to them. I plan to cut it out completely for the foreseeable future...We'll see.

EVANGELIST6589: I've never used Twitter and don't plan to. I check Facebook a few times a week for keeping up with friends (that I actually know in real life).

안녕히계세요 (annyeonghi gyeseyo)

A classy parting shot...
