Here&#39;s a good book. The Power of Story - Jim Loehr. I had a do over, as you say, time in 2010. I did a lot of digging, reading and praying and, after all of that, sit in my (almost) ivory tower, and am loving life. It&#39;s amazing what you can do when you get to the point that you have to make some changes and then finally understand what they are.rob.armstronghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08347436898252873419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776826.post-69665720423048424712009-08-02T16:38:15.941-04:002009-08-02T16:38:15.941-04:00Thanks for the shout out.

I think it is an ongoing stewardship debate. <BR/><BR/>Investing in real estate for the ongoing ministry can lower monthly cashflow commitments immediately and for the future allowing for "24/7" work to occur out of a building with the saving in cashflow. The issue is whether more ministry actually happens, or if the money is just spent on more stuff. Leasing a school in ON, from my conversatrions with churches, has proven to be as expensive for 3 hours on a Sunday morning as leasing a whole building 24/7 or owning an equivilent space with a right sized mortgage. Each environment has to be analyzed continually to see what option will have the most kingdom impact. As such, it is great to know about different options like the BC one, it can help churches make decisions on how they should move in their environment.Cliff Clinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15236157881265157032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776826.post-61881642680927458122008-05-07T10:34:00.000-04:002008-05-07T10:34:00.000-04:00Interesting that a lot of churches in the Fraser Valley in B.C. don't have their own buildings, but rent space from local schools. Their "ministry in a box" frees up funds to do ministry locally.

He said, “There was once a judge in some city who never gave God a thought and cared nothing for people. A widow in that city kept after him: “My rights are being violated. Protect me!”<BR/><BR/> “He never gave her the time of day. But after this went on and on he said to himself, ‘I care nothing what God thinks, even less what people think. But because this widow won’t quit badgering me, I’d better do something and see that she gets justice---otherwise I’m going to end up beaten black and blue by her pounding.’”<BR/><BR/> Then the Master said, “Do you hear what that judge, corrupt as he is, is saying? So what makes you think God won’t step in and work justice for his chosen people, who continue to cry out for help? Won’t he-stick up for them? I assure you, he will. He will not drag his feet. But how much of that kind of persistent faith will the Son of Man find on the earth when he returns?”<BR/> Luke 18:1-8<BR/> The Message//Remix<BR/><BR/>Be assured of my prayers!<BR/>A Fellow PilgrimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776826.post-1127920037747120902005-09-28T11:07:00.000-04:002005-09-28T11:07:00.000-04:00Cliff, <BR/> <BR/>Greetings from Boulder, Colorado!<BR/> <BR/>I'm glad to have you on <B>Praise Power</B>.

There's a very gifted singer that I have always wanted to sing with. I have had a song picked out for quite some time. My problem is that I'm afraid to ask him.

Take time to reflect on the impact you are having on the ones closest to you. More are watching than you know. <BR/><BR/>Are you getting enough help? Are you involving enough people? Are you getting different people involved? or are you using the same people over and over? Are you communicating the vision enough? Are the ones around you inline with the vision - Most important is it Gods vision, Gods plan? If yes then all the answers will be there right answers, and you can rest, in the knowledge that you are following Gods will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776826.post-1126050224989603812005-09-06T19:43:00.000-04:002005-09-06T19:43:00.000-04:00Sounds like it was worth the trip!!(smile)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776826.post-1125491653269848732005-08-31T08:34:00.000-04:002005-08-31T08:34:00.000-04:00In your weakness He will prove Himself strong!<BR/>Go, knowing you are covered in prayer.<BR/>Go, knowing you are blessed.<BR/>May you sense His presence, His peace and may you be overwhelmed by His great love for you!<BR/>I look forward with great anticipation to hearing about your trip.
