good word(s)! :)
Diversity is the word I'll talk about. FRC enjoys a rich heritage with our diverse population. While others feel the need to travel to enrich their lives, all we need do is experience our surroundings. Our church is rich in its differences.
Allen, I am so proud of you! A post chock-full of wordage. For your next post, give us some alliteration! : )
thanks Heather for your insightful, inspiring words of intelligience!
I'll take passion. When you are doing what you are called to do..with people you are called to do it with...in a place that let's you do it with excellence...your passion will grow. I've known many people who started with passion but lacked the environment and the symbiotic juxtaposition of collaboration and challenge. Their passion soon gave way to defeat and a life-long battle trying to discover God's will when it was already revealed to them took over.
Passion at FRC is discovered, drawn-out, challenged, nurtured, and rewarded.

That is very true Bri. We do need a culture that has both.
Word Up, Allen! These are good words to put in my repertoire of verbage. The one that struck me the most was trust. I guess, with where I came from, and the circumstances under which I left, trust has been, and to some extent still is, something that does not come easy to me. I have grown tremendously in that area since I have been here, though. THANKS for the opportunity to be stretch!
trust is a biggie!
