I am now 66 years young.I am feeling rather down. Not because of my age, but because ya'll don't want me to be the PB.For those who do want an older PB my ministerial number is 00013. Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com

Good news JLarry, the process of aging may take you out of some leadership responsibilities, but it frees you from others. Let the younger leaders worry about the budget and stewardship, along with keeping the doors open and ministries afloat, you've reached the age where you can give to those ministries that touch you. Just adjust your thinking, you may love the COG, but that does not mean you can't be blessed by other churches. Instead of going to the assembly, use your money on a conference you have always wanted to attend. That does not mean you don't love the COG, but now you don't have to be the defender of the faith for the organization and you sure don't have to fall on your sword to ensure its continuance. Man, you are free to disagree! When you retire (at your age you should step out of the way for someone younger) you're free to attend that booming Baptist Church down the road (you may even enjoy the fellowship of other COG folks at that church who are not blessed by the local COGs). Now, you would never stop loving the COG and being thankful for your spiritual heritage, but then it was not you who wanted to give up, someone younger showed you the door. Just walk through it.Mat
