Karen said the other day that she would be glad to move away from all the "wolf" spiders. They are fairly big, about 1 inch leg span, and a little hairy. Last night I killed 3 in the bathroom--how they are getting in, I don't know. But Karen hates spiders and will be glad not to deal with these particular types!
Today was church with a business meeting afterwards--only 14 people showed up for the meeting. There was a big discussion about the church having the "Fresh Start" ministry come to do a total church evaluation. The board had made the recommendation to have them come but some people felt that they could solve the problems without spending the big bucks (around $7000.00). The church decided to have a meeting in a couple of weeks to discuss the issue more. It was another case of the church people not wanting to follow the direction of the board. It will be interesting to hear how it all turns out!
I will be going on a pastor's retreat from Monday pm till Wednesday noon. The church board had approved it a couple of months ago, especially since it wasn't costing them anything--the Rocky Mountain CBA Executive Director gave me a 'scholarship' since I was a 'first year pastor' with CBA. I asked him a couple of weeks ago if I could still come even though as of next week I won't be at a CBA church anymore. I hope to get some good fellowship and inspiration to help with my next ministry. Karen is not looking forward to being by herself the next couple of days--she will have to kill the spiders herself! Keep us in your prayers (especially Karen!).
