Church Ignorance...
Knowing that I could write volumns about this subject, I'm going to stick with one incident in particular.
A few weeks ago, one of the larger SBC churches in our state, (somewhere near 1000 in attendance on Sunday's), was influenced and led by the INTERIM pastor, who by the way is in his 80's and has been at the church for over a year, to bring before the church a change in the churches constitution that would no longer allow any church member under the age of 16 the right to vote in the churches business meetings. The Motion PASSED! Now, this church only recognizes members 16 and over in the voting process.
What does that tell those students...it tells them that 'they don't matter anymore...your input...your thoughts...your ideas...and I can go on and on...are useless.' 'You are not needed here.'
And we wonder what's happening to the youth in our churches! We've already succeeded in alienating the collegiate group...those between the ages of 18 and 25...from the church body, now we're doing the same thing to the next generation.
This has got to stop...

Thawing Out...
For three straight days of almost 50 degrees...THANK THE LORD...the frozen tundra is beginning to disappear! There were moments that I honestly thought we would NEVER see the groud again. But with the warmer temperatures and the rain today, the ground is emerging!!! YAY!!!!
What we're hearing is that this was the LAST, hopefully, major snow for the season. The locals are talking about a possible light dusting of snow if a week or so, but for the most part, spring is so close!!!!!! I don't have to tell you how much we're ready for warmer days.
It's spring break at Tiffin University! Which means a week off for Tabitha, and somewhat of a break for Denise & me. We will not be meeting on campus until Easter Sunday night at the The River.
However, we do have quite a bit of traveling during the week. We'll be at Woodsfield, Ohio this coming Sunday, sharing about our ministry with the congregation of First Baptist Church - Woodsfield. Woodsfield is about a 4 hour drive for us, so we will have to be on the road by 6:15am. TOO EARLY!!!
Then on Easter Sunday morning, I've been asked to bring the morning message at Lakeshore Community Church in Huron, Ohio. LCC is a contemporary style church, that's located on Lake Erie, just outside of Cleveland. We're looking forward to worshipping at LCC.
At h2o, we've got so much going on for the remainder of the semester, it's unreal! Check back here for details.
I think that's about it for now...

Nightfall On The Frozen Tundra...
As night fell on the frozen tundra of Antartica, we had managed to get a snowblower on part of our driveway. As you can see, be barely made a dent in the vast amout of snow that we have. Most of these pictures are somewhere near our driveway, giving you different views around our vehicles.
This first pic is a great shot of our home. Notice the 2 small lights burried in the snow...that is decorator yard lighting that is over 2 feet tall! Tonight, it nothing more than a 'glow in the snow'!
It's 10:00pm, EST...the blizzard has sub-sided, the clouds are gone...and the stars are out. Time to go, I'm making fresh snow ice-cream. And there's a good fireplace and a cup of coffee waiting on me inside...
I'm standing in the road looking back in our driveway...can you tell where the road stops and our driveway begins....
Before the snowblower arrived, our vehicles were literally burried in snow!
This is attempting to get to our front porch.
