I was so very happy that I found Creekside Ministries had created a space for us all to meet together and praise the Father and Lord Jesus Christ for all they have done in our lives. Pastor Bob has been so very sorely missed, and the subsequent loss of Linda Stoll has made life at FBC quite challenging. Sheep need to be shepherded....and there are many who feel the loss with the same, or similar grief as myself......being told that we need to stand together is hardly consoling.....if not for the ever-presence of Evelyn (and I really believe she was heaven sent to us), I don't know where I would be right now. I still feel angry at the way things went.....and will probably never understand how not having any pastor is preferable to one who doesn't follow the political agenda of the powerful board. I do know that Pastor Bob did NOT abandon us in our time of need......we were betrayed from within.....but I, myself, sure do miss your presence- both at church and in my life. I am grateful, and regularly praise God for giving me the grace to continue to attend church regularly, although the void is huge......I pray over the scriptures for the right path to take.....and the wisdom to follow.
Thanks for sending me the link.....you will probably never know the lifeline that you threw to me when I most needed it.....
With the utmost respect,
Amy

This was meant as a tribute to Pastor Bob and Linda Stoll for the works that they've done in my life- not a church-bashing as someone mistook it for. If you want to know how I feel about my church, please read the March 11 post for an accurate view of how I came to FBC, and why I will always consider it my "home" church.
