Saturday, November 27, 2004 Sunburn, Christmas, Churches, and Pre-MillWell Gary, it's not quite as hot as what it was predicted to be, so hopefully there weren't too many cases of heat exhaustion today. I hate the heat and got burned when up in Queensland for my friends wedding. I'm now shedding skin like a snake. I've actually gone a bit brown which is a rarity for me.Christmas fills me with horror - not the right attitude to have at all. There is so much commercialisation and push to spend, spend, spend. There is also the added pressure in the Church to hold the special services for the elderly, the Carols by Candlelight, the Christmas Dinner - the list goes on. Besides, I think I only packed away the Christmas tree last month. I know there are alot of churches around and I agree that the main stream churches should amalgamate, but at the same time, I believe every time a church closes it's doors for the last time, Satan rubs his hands with glee. We need to have pockets of dedicated Christians all around the place, yet to have so many churches to build etc, the financial ramifications are huge. Home churches prevent that problem, and can be good for rich fellowship. BUT, being on the end of hosting a home church for evening meetings for well over a decade, I would never do it again. Maybe if it happened after all our kids were grown up, it would have been different, but I wouldn't recommend it to parents with young families. But that's just the way I feel, other people I'm sure would feel differently. I haven't been on the blog for a couple of weeks, but I noticed that Gary referred to 'that ignorant woman' who asked him if he was pre or post mill. I have a feeling that 'ignorant woman' is me. Am I right? Never mind - when we are all going up in the Rapture I'll turn to you Gary and say 'I told you so!' :) Geoff the 'Toronto Blessing' has too many problems - we have picked up alot of people who have been battered and scarred from the experience. We've seen first hand the mental, emotional, and spiritual problems that have affected loved ones. There are many similarities between the Hindu worship and what the Toronto is all about. Quite scarey really. Anyone going up to Belgrave Heights this year?. Our church have hired Kitchen 1 and a few people will be camping there in the A frame. They have asked me to go, but I'm afraid I like the creature comforts, anyway my son Jonathan and his wife Dianna will be taking leadership at Campaigners and we might go and babysit their house at Melton. It's actually our house (or the mortgage company really) and we've never stayed in it, so it would be good to go there. We will be visiting Belgrave Heights a couple of times. I want to listen to this Paul Barker I've heard about. # posted by shellymac @ 1:09 pm 0 comments
