Elders

In our church we have two elders that are retiring from being elders.  That in its self is a mis-statement.  There are men and women elders that fit the descriptions of the Bible idea of elders and then there are some that go to "Elder meetings".   I have always believed that many of our shepherding elders just don't have to meet regularly.

I am an elder because I am Old and not because I am a good shepherd.  

The cool thing is that I know the Good Shepherd.
