My Assembly of God church removed the published affiliation with AoG
so that few but long time pew sitters knew we were... AoG<G> A great
influx of "family folks" arrived with kids and swelled the downstairs
on Wed. night.
Cdr.Jen and I were wrangled in, to lead Buckaroo's and we had a
rip-roar'n
let 'er Buck operation<G>
*Not one time.. was I asked to teach on the doctrine of the AoG!
*Not one time.. was I interviewed by the childrens pastor for *Beliefs!
*Not one time.. Did any person in my church inquire as to what I was
teaching
in Royal Rangers!
That is the indicator, of the lack of MORALE brought to recruiting
leaders
of this *Program/*Ministry! ...*BECAUSE "I" had recieved a positive
experiance
in Rangers as a youth, my whitness in leadership of our group changed
the
dynamic's and shortly we began to "Butt heads" with church leadership,
*save
for the Sr.Pastor.. who had the right "vision"...

As long as you don't go nutty on me at Ranger Powwow when the boys
are called down to pray for the baptisum.. and are honest if asked
for a testimony, the guidelines I have from my *sovern chuch give
me no cause to tell you that you are wrong.

"Just not likeing" too me means.. put yur mind in nutral, rise and
go for a burger and a coke, but don't sit there and *Fret!
