Rick Widener just informed me that I have spent 30 of the past 60 days in Ohio. And though I appreciate many things about the great state of Ohio, I am very glad to be home in Minnesota.

 

Much of my time in Ohio was spent with Grace Fellowship Church in Mansfield which is sorting through a tough season of leadership change. A year ago, GFC had 3 new elders and a new pastor/presiding elder. It would be both improper and impossible to go through all the details here, but suffice it to say that there were no moral indiscretions on anyone's part. Waylon and Natalie Clemmons and family have moved to Berea, Kentucky to work with a Vineyard Church there. Though it was very difficult for both the Clemmons' and GFC, I am satisfied with the process that occurred in this parting of ways. Very sad, but satisfied with the way folks handled themselves in challenging circumstances. (read more)
