Well, I THOUGHT that I had did it. My new template was viewable on my computer only, so I am not sure what is up with that. Anyways, it is beyond my expertise, so I will just return to my old blogger template. Too bad, it was awfully cute. You can go to blogfrocks.com if you wish to attempt it, and if you do...then let me know how to do it!!!
Anyways, we had a pretty amazing service yesterday. For those of you who do not know, my father-in-law is the Senior pastor of our church in Roseburg. The need for a pastor at our church was through events that should never happen. In fact, the last three pastors I am told have left the church due to extramarital affairs. So this was no light task coming to Roseburg, by any means. He had a lot of repairing to do to restore trust and integrity as a pastor. Anyways, a few pastors ago, when the affair had happened, the church had split and another church began at that time which still exists today. Yesterday, this other church and their senior pastor came to our church and we did a joint service where there was repentance and forgivenenss on both sides for the past wrongs. Then, the pastor from the other church washed my father-in-laws feet. I can't tell you how emotional and powerful it was to experience that kind of reconciliation. I was so honored to witness it and be a part of it. I am sure Leah will be posting pictures of the event on her blog, so you will have to look to hers to see. I just wanted to share that amazing moment with you all, this kind of stuff rarely happens in the church world, unfortunately, but we believe that this is the beginning of a breakthrough that God is wanting to happen in our city. I love being a part of the move of God!
