Big brother...
What do you all think about the new counter on the side of the page? (Hint: Look over here--->)Now I can tell how many of you are actually reading when you claim to read and how long you spend on the webpage. In addition, I can track which webpage you were on before you came to this page. Muahahahahaha!!! That's my best web-based evil scientist laugh.

We are sorry to hear that the homestead in SA is infested with so many varmits. We are making our travel plans for fall and winter and do hope that a thorough extermination will be completed on the guest suite. John, we sure did need some of your seminary wisdom last night and today as we have spent 9 hrs. in a "lock-in" at the church with the church consultant, by the way, who is from New Jersey. We discussed the "vision" for our church. Of course, Bubba was in the room, again, so free speech was squelched. Bubba ain't voluntarily leavin'and so far no one has had the guts in these meetings to suggest he 'hit the road'.
Actually, we are defining our "identity", mission and other business consultant-type terms. We are still talking about our "concerns" but the guy somehow forgets to write some of the ones mentioned on the white board, like "leadership" and "bankrupt"! He suggested that each small group write a headline that we would like to see in the Trib. about our church in
the year 2012. There was a gasp in the room. Someone said "We don't talk about that year here--gets folks riled up." Being from New Jersey, the poor guy didn't know what he had suggested. Someone just said, "How about year 2011 or 2013? He said "Okay, 2011." Relieved,we continued to brainstorm. One table came up with "First Baptist Waco Calls First Black, Gay Woman Pastor". Our table was more sensible. We suggested
"First Baptist Waco calls first Hispanic Associate Pastor", reflecting the pop trend in Texas. Anyway, Suz left the meeting w/ an assignment to help her committee of 7 find 25 homes to host small group discussions on our "vision", 2 discussion leaders per home, 1 food-bringer per home. That will about use up those of us who are left! We hope that Margaret and John found and consumed a delicious meal at Bookbinders tonight! John, I am so jealous that you get to sit in those intersting classes and read those interesting books and see those cooky people. We will keep praying for Marg. a "local" job. Keep on blogging--we love it even though we don't squeeze out the time to reply very often. Luv, S & H
