I've been working with kids since I was a kid myself. I actually chose to be actively involved in the singles program at my church for 2 years before becoming a youth sponsor. Leaving the ministry would not be a total blow to me because I have other resources to fill that need. I think it's good that some of us are taking this step. I am prepared for any outcome at this point, and I trust my church. If I didn't, I wouldn't take this step. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I'll need all I can get. Blessings, Oliver |
