that is one awesome church…. and i am so happy you got to get back - just in time for Easter…. we to living here in ND are trying to decide ( i am) about next winter… Dan was just way to cold this year… so we literally went months where he didn't leave the house except for church, he even skipped a few times…. so it is weighing on my mind to, next winter what to do… and you still have kids in school so doubly so for you, although my grandson is just as precious to me .. and really the only pull factor to not just lift roots and go somewhere , and not freeze to death 3/4 of the year… and swelter the other quarter lol…. nancyl

Hey we experienced the same thing with our church we been members for 16 years so far. Our pastor paid our house note a time or two and refused to accept any money back. We pay our tithes faithfully and he knows that.

Our drive is about 30 minutes to the next town on the freeway so it doesn't even feel that far to me. My wife sings in the choir and is in the praise dance team as we love being members there and God is really blessing us.

This is the first wife I been a member of a church with for so long and I grew up in church!

Tina I love that you got a standing ovation and you do deserve it for the fight you have had to get from a wheelchair to a quad stick - well done. My church is pretty generous and I know supports a lot of people in their hour of need. Those who can't support with finances give time and yes they still bake and cook for families who need that kind of help.

Have a Happy Easter.

Congratulations Tina! Wonderful you got back to Church and yes, so supportive of you and your family. Good job and keep up the work. Happy Easter! Debbie

Nancyl--exactly the way I feel about Indiana, the heat is always going for 7 months and then the air conditioner is going for 5 months. I would like some perfect weather! 70 for the day time and 55 for nights!

Nothing like a wonderful church, they can be so supportive and loving! I plan on trying to pay a lot forward--not just financially,but do more and more around the church. Both things are going to take a long time--financially and physically! But I know how much this stuff means when you are stricken down and can't do anything! S I would like to help other people.

I can only walk small distances with my quad cane and AFO brace, but I am happy I can walk at all!

Tina :

Such a beautiful church community you have. with support like that moving is hard thing to do. I am sure you will pay it forward.

Tina, been in a church that is like a family is what church should be. Having that will be hard to leave let God guide you. You are doing so well keep it up!
