Then I read this and my mind went right back to that girl you spoke of. My heart ached so much for that girl (and I mean literally, physically hurt). I've been wondering if she made it back? But more than that, I've wondered about her request. Her request to speak to the Pastor. I'm still taken back by the comment that she was told he was in a service review meeting. And I think about the current series, and I think about your post here about being available. And I wonder, with a month to live and in the light of eternity, is deciding whether or not to cut a song or start the service a couple minutes early really more important that this hurting girl? Please don't misunderstand me. I don't intend to be negative. And I thank God that you were able to be there for each of these women, providing comfort. I just can't help but think that the girl last week was searching for something more. And I ache a little at the reason she was unable to find it. I know it's unrealistic to think one person can meet every need of every person in a congregation the size of Crossroads. But I look at this specific situation and these specific details, and I wonder what matters most, in the light of eternity?Scott Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392311012142289075noreply@blogger.com
