[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/4279850[/vimeo] Meeting with the architect about the Elder Beerman store did exactly what we hoped – it gave us an understanding of what we are realistically looking at.  The hope and dream of the Mall is still in place.  But,  our main question was – is conversion of the place a 1 million dollar project or a 10 million dollar project?  The answer:  honestly, somewhere in the middle of the two.  To cut an auditorium into ...

My Leadership “Signposts”

2 Comments
My Leadership “Signposts” I’m not sure why I decided to call them by that name,  but I have for the last several years.  I counsel people all the time:  when confused or in need of direction from God, always look BACK to the “signposts” –those times when you WERE clear and had direction from the Lord in a ...

Clarity on the Mall

I think it’s important to keep the Mall in perspective especially since it’s been run on local news twice. A couple of years ago an architect who does a lot of work with churches looked at the Mall  and made the case that seemed logical all along. . . nearly unlimited space AND parking.   Hard to beat.

Maybe a few BTer’s saw it. . . You never can tell if being on the news is a blessing or a curse. I hate talking on camera. There’s a near paralyzing fear you’re going to say something that comes off wrong. Then, there’s the old effect that hearing your own voice recorded always has: “do I really sound like that?”. In this case – “do I really look AND sound like that?” To me I looked grim and overweight. Not sure if the ...

Vision and Fog

I’m still on the after-burn of Vision Day. It is always SO life and faith affirming when God does that special “thing’ He does. It’s made me wonder about a lot of things: one is – why did we have about 200 - 300 more people than average that day? Was it because of Palm Sunday? Was it the meal at the mall? Was it the idea of a “vision day”? It also has me wondering what God is up to. On one hand, I often have a confidence that ...
