Racine

This past Thursday I found out that 2 of my best friends in our church would be moving away to Racine Wisconsin. He has been unemployed for over a year and finally received a job offer he had to accept. This is really great for them. They shared the news with our small group and we celebrated with them cheers and tears. We all had our selfish little reasons for not wanting them to go. Both Garth and Peg are great friends of mine. Garth is my golf partner and probably the only real close person I would confide in outside of my family. Peg is a beautiful person and my spiritual hero and also a "Hawkeye" fan. They could always bring a smile to my world just by being around. Both were very active in our church. They will be missed there also. Both were involved in music and Garth is a fellow deacon and Peg is a spiritual leader. I hope her vision for our church does not fade with her leaving. If I was going to send one couple out into the world as ambassadors of Christ it would be Garth and Peg. They enjoy life to the fullest and yet are very serious about leading others to Christ. W e always want to get together and have dinner. We hardly ever did because of our schedules. I regret that we didn't take the time to do so. And here they go off to Wisconsin. I am sure God has a plan for them there and some church will be lucky to have them become a part of it. And yes there are emerging churches there.
