A Thought From My Retreat

I was sitting at breakfast one morning at the retreat I went on in June. Amy and I were always sitting at tables with other people and this morning was no different. It was a great way to get to know people, so many times you sat by people you didn't know to try to mix it up.

One morning while at breakfast a thought provoking statement was made. Now you must understand that these are all Sr. Pastors and their wives from various churches all across the U.S. Anyway, one of the other pastors at the table made this statement:
Sometimes it's easier to give birth than raise the dead.
Now what do you think he meant by that? Weigh in and leave a comment.

Like with children it is much easier to give birth then to do the hard work of raising, disciplining, etc. (babies are easy! Children, teenagers, young adults much more difficult)....so maybe, in regards to the church it is easier to start one then work with those already set in their ways?!?!? or could also be in terms of the Christain walk, the new verses the old??
