Good morning from chilly Citrus County, Florida
This has been an exciting week in terms of getting settled. My office furniture arrived, so I was able to unpack my books and start working from my new office instead of the dining room table.
Two realizations soon hit me. (1) I didn’t give away enough books. (2) If you’re moving from having both a church office and a home office into just one home office, realize that it’s not all going to fit. So, we’re storing out, repacking some stuff, and storing

God bless,

BONUS POST:
Here’s a post from this day in 2014 from a column we did called “It’s Friday. But Sunday’s Coming! It’s entitled: Why Did My Savior Come To Earth?

Hey Valerie, Thanks for reading ThePreachersWord. And thanks for your question. We were traveling full time during “the shutdown.” We visited 14 churches during that time, and all of them and their Shepherds handled this a bit differently. It’s a tough call. I actually wrote about some of these kinds of issues a good in March and April that you can access at this link. https://thepreachersword.com/category/covid-19/ Specifically, here’s a post that addresses your question. https://thepreachersword.com/2020/03/24/is-it-wrong-for-churches-to-cancel-services/ Hope this is helpful. God bless.
