It would appear the ‘blog’ has a ‘clog’, sure can’t be ’smog’. Since it’s not a ‘dog’ I’ll leave my ‘blog’ for another ‘cog’ in the ‘blog’.
We need some real input from the regulars at TMC. How can we pursue the ‘good-better-best’ motif unless we have constructive criticism? I love to hear it, even about me. What can TMC be doing better? What have we missed? Are we really any different than any other church? Is being different a true value? What would you like to see TMC do in 2008? What can the leadership do better. (note: we can always do better). How are your spiritual needs being met?

Well, I don’t know if they’re all equally effective. Large rallies usually generate a large response, but you would expect those who respond to be more involved with day-to-day ministry activities back home. I think most people come down from their mountain-top experience and go right back to their usual living.

Hi Rob & Beth,

Doug Wenzel told me what you guys are doing and I found your website. You guys are real pioneers. I liked the powerpoint video with the Chris Tomlin music. You guys look great and you have a beautiful family.

May God bless you in your endeavors with TMC and the heavy lifting required getting a church plant going. Looks like you have great helpers.
Please put us on your mailing list for updates.

Comment on what are you living for? by Cora

I think this is a hard question to answer. As a wife, mother, and employee it often seems that I live to cook, clean, go to work, take care of animals, come home, cook, clean, take care of animals, go to bed. I’m sure many, if not most, wives and mothers feel the same way.

What gets my blood pumping is praying for someone and hearing God’s voice in prayer. To me, that’s the bottom line. If I can’t do that, I don’t feel like I have much purpose.

Ooops…that previous comment was mine, not Kirstin’s.

The older I get (I’m feeling more like a fossil every day) the larger that question becomes. When I was younger I spent my time, energy and resources on the pursuit of having fun and every new “toy” that came along. Now that stuff is like Kirstin quoted from Ecclesiastes “meaningless”. Paul said it well in I Corinth. 13:11

These days are precious to me, and I’d like to think that what I live for is “to live as Christ”. I fall way short and I am often “stiff necked” and disobedient. And as always his grace covers my fleshly efforts.

What I desire to live for now is to truly know God and share His message with others and to actively pursuit the fruits of the spirit. That sounds reasonable enough but I still struggle with implementing that in my life…but it’s worth living for.

I think you nailed it, Rob. I am afraid if my life gets too dull, I’ll have to figure out what it’s all about. Coincidently, it is the times when life has been the quietest that I have heard God. It’s almost like God lets us chase our stuff, if that’s what we want, and he won’t even try to speak until we slow down.

On another note, I don’t think life is about work, although that is what mosts consumes me, or about doing good deeds, although that is what I feel most guilty about not doing. If I believe that God created me to be with him forever in heaven, then it must be my purpose to involve as many other people as possible in this heaven-game.

It has really struck me recently that life is extremely short. Almost nothing we do here has any greater purpose than keeping us busy until our years are up. The only thing that will matter in the end is how well we heard God, and how well we are prepared to be with him. I wish I had a lock on communication with God, hearing his will, understanding his will, doing his will; but I don’t. I’m trying to hear and understand and do, and as long as I focus on that, I think I’ll be achieving his purpose for me here.

I believe this is a question that many spend very little time considering…Sometimes I wonder if we fill our lives with noise and busyness just because we are scared that if it is too quiet we may find out that there is no purpose to life at all. Another option most choose is to just make the most out of life and hope for the best. In the end, if there is nothing outside of us that dictates some purpose in our lives, we are just floundering.

Is it possible that this floundering and restlesness is supposed to lead us to God?
