hmmm........

so today was the last day that the pastor and his family were at trinity,actually that they were in vermont. they are being moved to north carolina where he will have less stress I believe and enjoy what he will be doing.  Before anyone gets mad at me, I am going to be rather frank,blunt, whatever, I am just going to lay it out there, and hopefully not offend anyone in the process.....
I truly feel sorry for whoever takes the position of senior pastor at that church. the church has too many people who think things need to be run the way they were back when the church was founded, and they are not happy unless that is the way it is.  Unfortunately things change, and people need to be willing to change, and until that is able to happen there will be discord, or unhappiness, or struggle whatever the right word is.....
Having been in delaware last year, I was able to attend an incredible church that honestly, I still miss, and think about every sunday, because I was so happy there.  the people genuinely love each other , and were so welcoming that I was literally blown away my first time there!!  we were greeted every week, asked how things were going, adjusting to delaware etc...  the way that church should be. not people who put on their sunday outfit along with their personality for the day. 
these people love the Lord, they love to serve, they love each other, just an incredible experience.
My parents church needs someone with a strong personality who will stand up for what he thinks is right and what he wants to get done while still leading and loving the church family.  in return the church family needs to be a church family, show the respect and love to their leader, the pastor, and  if he doesnt like an idea or a suggestion then accept it and let it go becuase he knows what is best for the church.
My little family is not sure where we will be attending church at the end ofthe summer, but wherever we decide it will be the best place for us and our children.
ok, well I just had to get this off my chest. I am saddened when I think about the way that the pastor of my parents church was treated , and honestly the lack of respect that he received....it just isnt right, and now he is gone. yes he handled alot of things poorly, and shouldnt have done other things, but he is human, and he did what he thought was right at the time, and with the resources that he had available to him.
ok...ok...enough, I dont want to start a problem or argument out here, I just wanted to get this off my chest. I probably wont publish this post, if someone stumbles upon this on my blog, then maybe you were meant to read it.  :)
