Good things

It feels a bit tense around here... and I am so sad when I talk to people with broken hearts... or hear about it. This is not what I want, not what anyone wants, surely. SO I have decided to post some light on our site. So that you know there are good things going on. I really believe that God works best in the face of adversity. I love you my friends.

*** Here is my response and an email (below in blue) ***

I think that Jeff answered a lot of what I might say... point for point with our money and stuff. I know you may not agree still, but I hope that you will see we have reasons behind what we decided. If you could take any truth away from this whole hoo-ha it would be that
1. I love Dan
2. I love Trail Head (corporate and personal)
3. Atlas was (at one point anyway) being applauded and championed by Dan, Tim and Jeff together as a way to love and seek the lost
4. We love you and Andrea tremendously

It does my heart good to know that we (all) can have academic discussion and still love each other well. You may know that your wifey poo and my husband have little nice emails back and forth almost daily. That makes me feel great! To know that we can be truly family. Disagree, duke it out, love each other a lot.

Hope you don't mind. I am going to post this on the blog. I know a lot of folks fell down hearted about recent discussions. I want everyone to know that the love of Christ between us all(the whole church) makes us able to care for one another so well.

Quoting Jeremy Snyder :

K, thank you for writing. I will hopefully address most of your
concerns sometime shortly, but doubt tonight, so tired... Anyway, I
don't think you fired Dan, but did think that you were the most vocal
by far. The concern for Dan's welfare is well noted, as I share the
same concerns. Aside from his family, I would venture that I spend
more time with him than anyone (which gives me insight into his own
breed of craziness, which we all have, I being among the most). I am in
protection mode for all at THCC who have been alienated, most of all
my wife. I know she can handle it, but most of me
feels she shouldn't have to. We will all be better for this, ble
ble ble, I know all that, too.
So brevity for now, further feelings to come.
You indicated you had much more to say, so rock on!
I do love you and your husband dearly,
I just think we are seeing things from our own limited perspectives.
I am far from perfect. I am praying for all at Atlas...

love you, j
