We tend to mix the two together I think but always leaning towards one, not in balance but we gravitate to our true feelings. I like to think my mission here is attractional, but in a spiritual way, as we are spiritual beings I like to point people in the right direction on their journey. My style is very low key but I do not hide the fact that I am a christian and believe we were created and designed to fill a role in this EPIC we were born into. I am very concerned about where technology is taking us, what is not being talked about and will we even know when we have been exposed to The New Technology. Being effective in the church is a hot topic, I think we need to focus on Jesus first, then people and NOT doctrine or the church. Truely live the ten commandments even if you didn't believe in God! My father asked my before he passed away in 1998, what if your wrong, what if it's just a really good history book? I said, if that's the case, what's the worst thing that would happen to me? I would live a life honoring those who God loved, helped those who were in need and treated my family the right way. We make it too complicated sometimes and the church has something to do with it. Sorry, I hope I answered your question? :) Thanks again. Hi Mike, Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Being effective in the church is a hot topic, I think we need to focus on Jesus first, then people and NOT doctrine or the church. Truely live the ten commandments even if you didn’t believe in God! My father asked my before he passed away in 1998, what if your wrong, what if it’s just a really good history book? I said, if that’s the case, what’s the worst thing that would happen to me?
