Town Board Meeting #3,497

Just got in from the Town Board meeting and Press Conference. Here are a few observations -

1. I'm not sure of the final number, but I reckon we had at least 30 pastors there pressing the Town Board to make changes.

2. A long-time opponent of our church's plans had quite an outburst during the Press Conference. It reminded me we are in a spiritual battle.

3. The attorneys representing us did a great job. Thanks to Rich Boes for making the connection there and congrats to Rich Johannesen and Ken Auerbach - they made a great team.

4. Bureacracy tends to move slowly, so the Town Board scheduled a public hearing to discuss amending the code for December 6th.

5. Politicians can indeed be encouraged to change their minds when enough people make their voices heard.

6. We need to keep praying because after election day some politicians have been known to change their minds again.

All in all a good night. It means that our own planning application will take a while yet, but we are spearheading the reversal of a major injustice that left unchallenged could hinder God's work in Brookhaven for many years to come.
