Those are some of the reasons my mother never went to church. She would go into the woods and comune with God there. This was very interresting as it shows no one is immune from the devils plans

Well written and interesting depiction of these events.

The note about British English was probably a good idea for many readers who would otherwise assume it was full of errors.

God always does provide a way as this older Pastor was given with the smaller church.

Most of this was negative, which is both a good and bad thing. Good in the way as in creating a emotional connection with the reader. Bad in the way of it makes you sound like a half empty glass kind of guy. Either way, I love the flow of the story but your comma placement can be improved.

    OK well thanks, I think. If I fix the commas will you come back and do something about the awful rating?
reply by michelleballentyne on 14-Feb-2016
    Yes, once you live up to your word, I'll consider a better rating.

The body of Christ is far from being the pure spotless Bride she's supposed to be, that's for sure!

Your struggles with your church echo so loudly within me as I smile and nod my head, Geoff.

Glad most of the situations have been attended to and resolved.

Have a great week, friend.

    Hi there sorry the accent was a bit difficult and bit hard lip reading you accross the line hehe! Louise and I are both lip readers. If you are ok with it when you come over maybe we can have a cuppa down at the local store or even in between Baulkham Hills and here some place if you prefer. I started to tell you Baulkham Hills is on the Eastern side of Blacktown the city next East to ours.

    No problem - different accents get a bit disconcerting the first time. I'm sure it'll be easier the next time.
    Glad we connected.

    I'll let you know when we finalize our plans. I hope I'll be able to make it for that cuppa - will do my best, I promise. :)

Sankey, this is a well written personal journey in the form of a journal, in some ways. It is realistic and does not try to soft-soap the things in our lives of which we must contend even as Christians. Well done. :0 GracieAnn

This is a good letter, you really get the point across. I can relate to some of your problems there. It just seems the younger generation, do not think like we do.

Anyone who is interested in your story will appreciate the fact that you covered as much ground as you did. If you divide it into smaller segments it will lose some of its continuity, for those who want to read it.

Your mention of your brother the fruit picker-recluse had me laughing. As a person who attends church,I cna relate to some of the things you describe. This is an essay that gives the reader a view into your church life.

    hey new friend thanks very much for the great review. Yeah he used to grow stuff in his garden at the bottom of their property and sell at the markets...then it was not working out so he just stuck to reading and reading and studying...as I said 'Professional student" The fruit picking came a lot later.Will look around for your stuff not sure I have read any of yours yet. IK recommend going back to the beginning and working through only if you care to ok! Thanks again.

You really can't cut anything as it is all a part of the thought process and necessary. I read so much in there that I have wanted to say over the years to various congregations that I have been in. It points up an underlying problem that most congregations have, there are a bunch of humans in them! I got lucky here with a little church of old folks that seem to accept everyone. It only took sixty years. By the way I thought I'd let you know that gal we were all praying for (Honeycomb) came home from the hospital and is on the road to recovery. Prayers answered!! Great chapter here. mikey

    Thanks mate. have deci8dede to sell the piano have a look at my Time line on Face Book. I can't hear it properly anymore and as much as I am very sentimental about it I think you understand...it would give us more space in our lounge room and I couldn't resist the great valuation the tuner gave us for it. I appreciate your very sympathetic review my friend. God Bless.
