News from the Coads


Patti and I were at a church recently that had reached a point of real stagnation.     The new pastor was trying to inspire the congregation to start dreaming again to not just maintain the status quo but to grow.    Two ceiling to floor banners declared: “Thrive!”    During the service, I had this thought.    2012 is going to be a banner year.    If I am alive, I want to do more than just survive.    I want to thrive.   For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.  2 Timothy 1:6  NIV
