Amen, and Amen,
Adrian I could have said that better. Reading a few of the e-mails last
night I just wanted to to write a post to say STOP BICKERING!!! It tears at
my heart. I have been on and off the Rangernet for years. It is times like
these when I just want to leave again. I have made some good friends over
the years, especially Adrian and Brian, who called from overseas when my
husband was in the hospital. I remember when if you asked for prayer you'd
get a whole flood of uplifting e-mail. Some complained at the banter, and
while it could get a little carried away (I'm included in that) isn't it
better to make each other laugh and feel good than tear each other down. The
truth of the matter is we are never going to all agree on everything, but we
are all working towards the same goal. We all live in different places and
have different situations to deal with, we may all use different methods,
but we are all brothers and sisters in Christ who have to reach out to a
lost world. How can we reach out in love to a dying world when we can't even
reach out in love to other brothers and sisters.
Adrian, Tuesday is set aside. I want to stoke the fire of love for our
brothers and sisters.
Please, no flames, I'm as guilty as anyone, but please lets try to bring the
spirit of fellowship back to Rangernet. Now more than ever we need it.
God Bless us all,
Lorraine Mourning
