Plural leadership is the norm for every church: “appoint elders in every city as I directed you.” “Elders” is plural and “in every town” is singular. It indicates multiple elders serving each church on Crete (1:5). Each reference to local church elders demonstrates plurality as the New Testament practice (see Acts 14:23; 15:22; 20:17 that show this same pattern of plurality). Paul’s reason for plurality within even small congregations makes sense. It provides accountability, support, and encouragement, increased wisdom, and diversity of gifts to increase ministry effectiveness.

I was honestly just getting ready to send a Happy Anniversary post.  I must have put you into an app in my iPad a long time ago.  I just saw it and I had no idea I had put anything into that calendar app.  😀  Happy Anniversary!!!!

Happy 32 years of marriage to dh and me!!! I don't mind shouting it out as it is a real victory for us and a praise to the Lord. ​Seems the years are flying by too fast, but we are enjoying each other more than ever. That's a GIFT! Lisa NM
