why I left calvary

February 09th, 2009 | Category: Anthem of Hope, Ramblings

I have gotten a few questions as to why I’m not on staff at Calvary Lighthouse any more. Also, I get questions on where I’m going to church now, etc. These are questions and I suspect, may have been a source of confusion for one or two of you. So, lets explain:

As you know, I have been working like a dog on Anthem of Hope. It is very time consuming. There hasn’t been a week that I put in less than 30 hours in quite some time (and there are 13 of us working on this at some level each week). Of course I also have a full time job, and I keep mandatory daddy/daughter time each night when I’m home from work. So basically, I’m up very late each night after she gets to bed. This schedule leaves no time for being employeed anymore at a church. I stepped down a few months ago from my position at Calvary. There were absolutely no hard feelings. I want to make that clear because anytime someone leaves a church there are always rumors. Upon stepping down I decided it would be nice to visit the churches within driving distance that prayed dilligently for Misty. On off weeks from doing that, we (me and Livi) visit one of my local churches (that’s why many of you local folks see us popping in every once in a while).  Not sure where we will settle down, but for now, that is the plan.

Anyway, this weekend was wildly productive for Anthem of Hope. We had a casting call yesterday for a series of videos we are doing for Anthem of Hope. That went perfect. Then today we had a voice talent in the studio to record readings of one of the sections of our scripture disc (The Encouragement Disc).  

PS…my friend Jana Bova is in the hospital ready to have a baby. I’m praying for her tonight.

    …and may her delivery be beautiful, smooth, and quick!

    Can’t wait to ‘hear – with my ears’ what was accomplished on AoH!!! It’s SO exciting : )

    I’m praying.

    I thought you said you attended Calvary! So, did you know a woman named Nilda Colon? She used to go to Calvary until she died in 2005. Just curious if you knew her…she was my aunt.

    It’d be interesting to hear about your experiences with different places of worship. Keep us posted on your visitations.

    I hope you realize how much ministry you do through this “vessel”. More honesty, truth and real life application here than I have experienced in a long time. Thank you for your open heart, your diligence and integrity.
