I have seen too many families and marriages damaged by the constant moving. I suppose the obvious answer is that, ideally, one should be rooted and secure in Christ, no matter where one lives or how often one moves, but that is a terribly difficult thing to explain to children and ask of spouses over and over again.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-67718086339953603252010-01-15T13:00:04.817-06:002010-01-15T13:00:04.817-06:00I didn't attend Ministers School but I was at ...I didn't attend Ministers School but I was at another meeting at Tan Tar A at the same time. By chance we took a break at the same time this session let out and emotions were very high. There were some friends for whom appointments have not been as easy as mine who were experiencing some very deep felt resentments that overflowed into the hallway. I hope I can get some form of text or recording of that session so I can hear what was said. <br />I appreciate all you've said in this post. I resonate with some much of what you've experienced within the appointment process. Thanks for bringing a well thought voice to this conversation of itineracy.Pastor Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375784445517754485noreply@blogger.com
