Changes Again
Shariland I have had many emotional “ups and downs” during the last few months. We knew the day of our departure was, if notat hand, coming soon. We both have spentmuch time in prayer, seeking an answer from God. God finally gave us the “peace” of knowing wewere retiring, and eventually we had a date. (I am not sure God chose the actual date, as it is our Fifth Anniversaryhere at Fundamental Baptist Church.)
Thetime has come for our reflection over accomplishments and disappointments. In my heart, the accomplishments are many andthe disappointments are few. God hasallowed our building’s exterior to be completed. In my Introduction Article five years ago, Istated I wanted to follow the direction Bro Tom Lewis had set before me. I am not certain that he would have agreed onthe metal siding; however, it certainly beautifies the building, and oursurrounding community.
Ialso want to thank you, The Community of Wellington,who convicted by God, helped us physically and financially. Without you, we could not have completed our Building.
Throughprayer, The New Testament ChurchPlanters contacted us to help. The addedsupport of Central Baptist Churchin Amarillo,(Pastor Gerrald Chadwick and 16 of his Churchmen) came on our first WorkSaturday and gave us a huge start on the building.
Ialso want to thank the “WellingtonLeader” for accepting “Fundamental Thoughts” as a regular feature.
Last,but not least, I want to thank the members of Fundamental Baptist Church for responding toGod, and calling me to this Church. (Iknow my tenure isn’t as long as some, however, much longer than many.) As Pastor, I have grown to love this Church (youthe people.) Sharil and I will miss thefellowship, the dinners on the ground, and the camaraderie of “Our Church Family.”
