Praying for peace and safety
Wes Magruder and his family have been on my prayer list for some time now -- since 2004, actually, when they left the friendly confines of the North Texas Conference to serve as GBGM missionaries in Cameroon.
They've encountered some problems that led everyone to agree that it was best for them to leave Cameroon. Leah and the girls are already settled back here in North Texas, and Wes is due to fly back to join them on Sunday, March 9. For a while, it looked like he might not be able to catch that plane (read his last few blog entries for details). I'm looking forward to sitting down with him to hear his stories in person in the near future.
In the meantime, I'm grateful that things seemed to have calmed down for the people of Cameroon, and that we will see Wes here in Texas, reunited with his family, in a matter of days.
As a former United Methodist I find if offensive to see pictures of women wearing shorts and appearing in immodest dress. We can remember when our elders would never consider attending church in something other than a dress. Now a man has to almost cover his eyes to keep from seeing what is almost pornography inside a church building. We left the United Methodist because of a social gospel was being preached and no one really wanted to obey the Bible any more. Women preachers - what an abomination.
