You have to learn how to work with others effectively, how to not let people push your buttons and how to appreciate everyone for the unique way God wired them. But the payoff of championing those things is tremendous and the resulting work that is done is amazing. <BR/><BR/>You simply do not have the obligation or the opportunity to mesh as a true functional body of believers inside of a virtual church as you do within a 3-D church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
