The decision is made. I am resting in it for 24 hours. It is unusual for me to hold off on something that looks promising, but we have concluded that this is the best thing for now. Thanks for praying. On to Church: Can anyone fille me in on their view of the "emergent" or "emerging" Church. I found this on wiki: {“Emergent” is a loosely knit group of people in conversation about and trying experiments in forwarding the ministry of Jesus in new and different ways, as the people of God in a post-Christian context. From there, wide diversity abounds. “Emergents” seem to share one common trait: disillusionment with the organized, institutional church as it has existed through the 20th century (whether fundamentalist, liberal, megachurch, or tall-steeple liturgical). Its strengths: creative, energetic, youthful, authentic, highly relational. Its weaknesses: somewhat cynical, disorganized, sometimes reckless (even in the theological ideas willing to be entertained), immature}

More on this later...after I "study" :)
