Ned,

Continuing to pray as led for your church situation there. It can be
difficult to fight the urge to do what seems right in our own eyes, what
makes prudent sense out of it all, to make experienced forecasts of what
the church is headed based off of similar events or other churches. But
this isn't another church and  patience until a sure and positive direction
from God is given. Yes COTR's site is back up, somewhat limited I think,
but up. I haven't been there in  a little bit now. Their old building,
where a daughter church was started by one of the elders, unfortunately
suffered I hear a complete loss. That is unfortunate, but Romans 8:28 says
that all things work for the good of those who love God and serve his
purpose, and I know the pastor there and does on both occasions so I know
they will come out even better. Sorry you had car issues, isn't that fun?
hahahaha NOT!!
