A tree does not grow overnight, but it does grow. Patience is key. And judgement has no place here.

Someday?

What does she want from a Church?

In our 70’s shouldn’t we know the answer?

What else is there to need or want?

Church is a way of life.

The place is simply a formality.

If you’re going to pick a place, why not pick one ridiculously convenient and close to home?
