I have been thinking about this sort of thing a lot concerning church staff being out in the community. And I've come to conclude that the church staff must be out in the community, whether it be at a full- or part-time job or as a volunteer...or both.

Love this post. Very encouraging as we move forward with Chicago!

The CEV translates this verse: At noon, Elijah began making fun of them. "Pray louder!" he said. "Baal must be a god. Maybe he's day-dreaming or using the toilet or traveling somewhere. Or maybe he's asleep, and you have to wake him up."
