Seems that part that turns salt into chlorine is no longer working so all the chemicals I dumped in to try and get things right were wasted and I need to replace that part before we can get rid of the green. Arrggg.
I think it's like some of the trends in the church world though. They sound good, but don't fit every location and situation. Not every church is supposed to be multi-site or "contemporary" (whatever that means) or emergent or "not your Grandma's church" or even "seeker sensitive" There's a million other buzz words and trends that sound good - especially when explained and examined in light of a church that's successfully doing it. But just like going green isn't good when applied to my pool....following the latest trend isn't always healthy for the local church. Just figured I'd share. Anybody up for a swim?

Hey!
The pool hasn't changed one bit! :P

I agree with your take... Fred and I were just discussing that the other day. We are now at First Brandon, and I guess most people would see it as a "suit wearing, hymns only, stick to traditions" type of church. (by the way, it's not at all) We like it a lot and believe it's doing a lot for the community. But it's not the type of church some people would see themselves in. Me, I don't see myself in a church like yours (nothing personal). But I also believe that it is reaching out to the community just as 1st Brandon is, all be it in a different way. As long as we focus on what God has called us to be: salt and light.
ewww...that's gross!
(not the point of the story, but the pool) ;)
Either you totally missed the whole point of "green" or you are celebrating St. Patty's Day 7 months early or 5 months late depending on your calendar.
Jason! you may not realize that one of the highlights of my day is to read my friend's blogs.
Right now I am pretty bored!! (ok, how lame am I?)
Working on it....trying to find a rhythm again.
