BillThis must be very difficult and very frustrating. You are right—it is such disregard for the other believers who need to gather and hear a word from God. Very sad.

Tim,Thanks for your comment. This sounds like it could be a challenging time of life. It sounds like you are very aware of the feelings this time of life has created. I will look forward to hearing from you again in the future as to how you have approached this.Thanks so much for your reply.

Very good thoughts, Jim. What’s worse than serving stale bread? Well, perhaps it would be preaching the old sermons of someone else that have been downloaded from some web site. I’ve been forced to endure this and it discourages me very much. It’s not just the ethical considerations, but the apparent disregard for those who assemble to learn and grow in Christ.
Well, that’s my rant for the day. Thanks for listening.
Blessings,
Bill the Plumber

Jim,
Thanks for your comments. We are just empty nesters, an incredible void has entered our lives. The routine which you live by for so many years is gone. It is easy to just to "settle back". Our prayer is that a newness with God never ceases, and with God’s help , a freshness to approach each day with anticipation
