Joplin

I am sure that most of you who read my blog know my parents.  In fact, I know that some of the people who read this blog are, in fact, my parents.  I'm assuming since my dad put it on his Facebook, in the announcements at work, and discussed it at his staff meeting, that me talking about it here is ok as well.

My dad has received a call to be pastor of a church in Joplin, MO.  My dad hasn't actually entertained a call in a few years because he was focused on getting a new building and preschool for his church out in Las Vegas.  He decided that he would entertain calls again because he's finished that task and done it very well (at least in my opinion).  

My parents are in Joplin right now looking at the church, the community, jobs for my mom, and meeting with members of the church, all in an effort to decide if this is where God is leading him.  I know that my dad is feeling a little bit of angst about this decision, for a variety of reasons, and I hope he feels where the Spirit is leading him.

Please pray for my parents, and especially my dad, as they deal with the decision of whether to take this call or stay where they are.  Thank you so much!
