Boy, is this world of blogging addictive or what?! I have been to dozens of sites lately and I can't seem to shut off the computer when it's time to teach a Bible study, eat a meal, or go to bed. But it sure is rewarding. I never knew there were so many people out there, Christians like me, who've been questioning and re-examining their whole church experience and what it means to be a follower of Jesus. So many good topics are brought up and others are wonderfully and aptly voicing so many of my thoughts. Thanks to all of you...
I have to admit that sometimes it all gets a bit overwhelming. And the controversies...it definitely gets hot in the kitchen at times! My co-dependent/ACA self keeps wanting to find out who has the right answer. That is, which viewpoint actually represents the Lord's truth? I really want to land there. I don't want to be wrong and get in trouble for it...
What the Lord speaks to me, though, is to stay close to HIM. I don't need to have an answer to feel safe or right. Answers didn't die on the cross for me, He did. It's so tempting to want to get in the middle of a controversy and want to be right. But I realize that some answers or truth most likely won't even be settled till we get to heaven. I just need to keep my contact with Him alive, walk humbly & closely with Him. That will make me safe. That will make me right (even though I'm wrong much of the time).
It does feel good to have a voice! And it feels great to hear others! I never would have guessed how much the Lord can use the internet for His purposes. It's great "meeting" brothers and sisters all over the world; it's wonderful just to meet anybody and get contact going with them. So many have so much to add to my life.
Here at River City Ministries our "Easter" service was held last Thursday on our normal date and time to have Bible study. A little bit of special music, some last minute changes to the teaching, a killer dinner afterwards, we celebrated our Savior's crucifixion and resurrection together. I personally had a blast and knew my cup was brimming full when it was over. And I believe & hope the others there felt that way too. But you know what the best thing about it is? I don't have to wait another year for this goodness. We preach, teach, celebrate, & live His resurrection every day around here, and I'm as confident in His meeting me tomorrow as He did today or last Thursday.
And it's all because He's alive. Thank you Father!
Happy Easter to all.

I like what you said: "What the Lord speaks to me, though, is to stay close to HIM. I don't need to have an answer to feel safe or right. Answers didn't die on the cross for me, He did. It's so tempting to want to get in the middle of a controversy and want to be right."
We used to live out there. Say 'hi' to the River City for us, eh?
I also feel I don’t need to have all the answers as long as I stay close to Jesus, My Higher Power.
The “Easter” service was truly anointed with the music, the message, dinner and fellowship. I felt such tremendous love by Jesus realizing He went to the cross for us, His bride. My faith is much stronger because of the service, which reminded me of God’s immeasurable love and grace.
I’m thankful you are blogging and hope everyone had a tremendous Easter.
May not get to go hear and see you as much as I would like to. But, look how lucky I am now that you have a blog!!!! I really enjoyed this post very much. Like you always have questions. Feel that many have been answered over the last few years and have learned to accept those answers. I look forward to the next post....
