Praise God that He always has a plan. One year after we had joined our new church home, our church went through a time of trouble.  Just as I had been asked to be a deacon, circumstances came to bear that left us without a Pastor and some of the key pillars of the church when I had joined.

Very quickly I went from the new deacon to the deacon’s spokesman to the Deacon Chairman.  My understanding of Biblical passages and my untaintedness meant that I was the logical choice in a polarized atmosphere.  I also ended up being the Pulpit Committee Chairman in a rather uncomfortable twist of events.

God placed me in my current church at the right time to accomplish His purpose.  I was placed there to help my church through this rough time, to help bring in the new pastor, and I started to wonder if my task here was done.

I stopped being a deacon when my term was up.  It was months of sometimes weekly meetings, highly charged emotional atmospheres, and I believed that I had become to jaded and calculating to the point where I needed to heal.

However, it is in this time away that my wife and I began to wonder whether this is where the Lord wants us to stay.
