There are almost no words.
Our minister is dying.
And our church is in desperate need of leadership and consistency and all the things that a strong minister can bring us.
And we're grieving, and struggling, and uncertain, and sniping at each other and...
and....there's so much more. Youth Leader is about to push me right over the edge, and the Conference (the governing body of each geographic area of the United Methodist church) has thoroughly let us down, mostly by sticking their heads in the sand and playing pretend with a lot of other people.
and.....
The one bright-ish light is that a former minister, who is now retired, is coming back for a 3-month stay. I don't know if he can/will stay on until a new minister is appointed, which is usually done in June.....generally, if a minister is available now, there's a reason.
*sigh*
And she's dying....so very gracefully.
