Church It! Church it Good

Brah, work was the pits today, trying to get myself out of the mucky muck. I had an intense head ache all afternoon, possibly from the large amounts of nuts i ate. I've heard if you eat a lot of nuts it can cause migraines so maybe that was the case. Either way i felt like crapola and went home and hopped in the bed and then an hour later downed a few cups of coffee and i was back to normal. We went to the church meeting at the C-stone and it was very productive. We called two deacons, two men i think are both well deserving of the call and hope that both accept the call. I think they'd both provide the church with the additional leadership that the church needs. Plus the church seems lost in itself at times with the amount of general stuff and i think two more deacons will help be able to organize and carry out more projects of sorts. I was happy both got called as i thought it was going to be more of a "pick your favorite one" which I thought was a little odd, thankfully it was "elect who you want and you can elect both." Our ONE existing deacon has worked his tail off but has been unable to keep up with all of the tasks at hand, which is totally understandable, i mean its a lot of stuff to do.
Also wifey volunteered for the building comittee to help find us a permanent home. Our church still meets in an office building on mtn creek road. Both janelle and i think finding a permanent home for our church will really help solidfy the church and give it both a bit of permanence and possibly a more formal atmosphere for worship. Though i'll probably be scolded by any presbo-terian (spelled improperly for humorous reasons), i think that an actual church building is sort of important. Obviously not important in comparison with say preaching, teaching, fellowship, and worship however a building, in our case, can convey a sense of this church is here to stay. Plus maybe its the catholic in me but an actual church building seems to convey the mindset of worship. I mean i don't need a crucifix, stained glass windows, or any statues or anything but an actual building helps, i don't know maybe its my weak mind coupled with my weak faith. They might as well excommunicate me...
