I like many of you don't fully understand the changes
taking place within Royal Rangers.Having been involved
in Rangers for 35 of it's 38 years I-we've seen
numerous new things come down the pike.Todays Royal
Rangers is vastly different from when I earned my GMA
in 1974.In January at the Northeast Region Conference
when some of these things were presented to us I stood
in the room saying I have an open mind I can see the
benefits in this but on the inside I was so angry i
could have spit nails.Since that time the Holy Spirit
has realy dealt with me.Often we lose sight of Why God
caled us to Royal Ranger Ministry.All the cosmetic
things are great,the activities are great,But I-we
must remember REACH-TEACH-KEEP BOYS FOR JESUS.When
things look bleek and for the life of me I can't
understand.PROVERBS 3:5,6.God bless each and everyone
of you.
