Being the Church

For Wilshire Baptist Church

Wilshire had its first-ever virtual annual church conference on Sunday. In years past, there’d be several hundred people crowded into our community hall at noon for a light lunch and then an hour’s worth of reports about the missions, ministries and finances of the past year and the prospects and plans for the new year. This year we couldn’t meet in person, of course, but with at least 140-plus people online, I think we did pretty good.

Little Drops of Rain

For Wilshire Baptist Church

This past fall we didn’t get to make our annual trip to a national park, but as I wrote here in November, we did make it to a pair of state parks in the Texas Hill Country. And in late November, we traveled to Glacier National Park by way of a Smithsonian webinar about the geology of the park. It was interesting, mind boggling, soul stirring and faith fortifying, but maybe not in the way expected.

Wind-Scarred

For Wilshire Baptist Church

It was a surprise but not unusual that we were gifted with a box of fruit and other goodies from Harry & David during the holidays. That happens every so often and it’s always appreciated. But what was most surprising was a note inside the box.
