I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
There is a God has left a new comment on your post "Change to Enthusiasm or Die! Brochure - Final Edi...":
"Do Church Growth Consultants Really Work?"
Not so much:

But here's one who thinks he can, complete with Divine Call from St. Andrew, Middleton/Waunakee to tell your WELS church how to do it:
Crossroads Consulting Ministry. (http://www.st-andrew-online.org/MinistryInfo.aspx) "Crossroads Consulting is a ministry of St. Andrew Lutheran Church that provides assistance to WELS congregations throughout the country. Crossroads focuses on assisting God’s people with pursuing his mission by offering both a comprehensive and streamlined ministry planning process. Each of these approaches is custom designed around the needs and desires of client congregations and includes an analysis of current reality, the development of short- and long-range ministry goals, and strategic implementation. Special services (e.g. organizational realignment, conflict management, teambuilding) are also provided. Pastor Elton Stroh serves as the Executive Director of Crossroads. For an executive summary and answers to frequently asked questions, visit Crossroads Consulting’s web site: www.timeforcrossroads.com" (No mention of St. Andrew on the web site, yet "Pastor" Stroh received his "Divine Call" from St. Andrew.)
