But in the case, curiosity is getting the best of me. <br /><br />First, a question...are you the same 'becca1' who went off on her awhile back in response to her blog about things she had never heard a preacher say? If so...a few follow-up comments regarding the idea to try the Vineyard:<br /><br />1) If that was the only contact she had with a person from the Vineyard, do you think she would be in any way compelled to visit it in person?<br /><br />2) If you are referring to Vineyard Lex...you might be interested to know that was our home church for quite some time during which she led a small group, and including a period when I was one of the pastors there. Ironic,huh?Chip Monckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894138441764568346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109411237338990591.post-64972756646757741732012-08-26T18:24:05.573-04:002012-08-26T18:24:05.573-04:00You should try the Vineyard.You should try the Vineyard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109411237338990591.post-47053131837999293362012-06-07T15:38:06.988-04:002012-06-07T15:38:06.988-04:00I hear what you're saying.

We are not poor, compared to world or American standards. I would never make a blanket statement that EVERYONE needs to do what we've done. <br /><br />Really though, that wasn't why I wrote this entry. Feelings of discontent with the Church came to the surface earlier this week. Without going into specific details, I grew tired of hearing what I construe as mixed messages from a variety of voices.Debbie Monckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631192841911635027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109411237338990591.post-14809306024314493872012-06-07T14:43:06.346-04:002012-06-07T14:43:06.346-04:00One more thing.

Everything you've said the pastor should be doing is something you are not doing either. It is all a matter of degree.<br /><br />For instance:<br /><br />1. I imagine that where you live, even if it isn't the greatest neighborhood, is a heck of a lot better than what most of the world lives in. So instead of patting yourself on the back and trying to make others feel guilty, why not move to the poorest country on earth and actually walk the walk you're proposing for others?<br /><br />2. If driving an Escalade is wrong, so is driving any car. Do you know how much of the world has no means of transportation? You pick the Escalade because it is out of your personal reach, but someone else could make the same statement you are but say "Driving a 1972 Ford is wrong."<br /><br />So what if a 3rd Worlder wrote a similar article, but instead of listing the things you criticize, listed instead your fancy neighborhood and transportation (compared to his). Do you really not see your hypocrisy? You're just part of the class warfare, blame game mentality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109411237338990591.post-9642269755052869682012-06-07T12:14:58.645-04:002012-06-07T12:14:58.645-04:00Those are some interesting assumptions, considerin...Those are some interesting assumptions, considering I don't believe you know me.

We can print anyone of them to post on our wall for our older friends they may not have joined the 21st generation. Why they even have computer labs in the assisted living buildings mom works at.<br />Don't go to all the trouble of having a picture taken for nothing, let alone the cost. Why use your computer, click on Amazon, and have a $50 gift card sent directly to me.
