My family decided to leave Frisco CofC over this mess. We sorely miss a lot of our friends from there, but if the church's members are going to resort to this, I think we made the right decision. “Jason Cole”….it genuinely saddens me that it’s come to this.

I can't think of many greater compliments to a Christian than the one Mae just gave Tisha. That is AWESOME! When congregations fight, Satan gleefully supplies ammunition to both sides. Keep yourself in the dust of Jesus' feet, Doug! The fact that Satan doesn’t fear most of us is a huge condemnation.

Keep yourself in the dust of Jesus’ feet, Doug!

Your posts have always made me reflect on where I'm at with my spiritual growth. Your letters were amazing and made me think about my personal relationships and how I needed to own them and enhance them! I love technology! You are 8 hours away but I can still learn and grow with you! Unfortunately I know most of the "dirty laundry" that happened at Frisco. It was ugly and still is ugly a month or more after you've left. I know I've told you this personally on a few occassions but I was amazed at how you conducted yourself the last few months. You were calm, you were level headed, and you publicly apologized for your wrongs. That's a lot more than I can say about how others behaved! Tisha dangerous? Tisha is the most passionate, giving, caring and loving person I've ever met. She gave a little boy a kidney, spends time at childrens homes, helps old people when they've lost their way, builds meaningful relationships, and has helped many women deal with their deepest darkest pains. Satan is the only one who should think Tisha is dangerous. Never forget that you are loved by many! We love you and your precious family! -Mae Doug, I have always enjoyed reading your blog, please don’t stop because of people like Jason Cole (if that’s his real name).

In that discussion he told me that was looking for a new job (at that time) and he told me to keep it to myself. (It seems like the cats out of the bag now Doug - so I didn't figure you would mind me saying this now). However, Doug never acted like the "wounded party" in my conversation with him nor did he cast any blame. I had a discussion a while back with Doug on the phone.

I want to tell the folks here what I know about Doug Young. I met Doug this year at the Tulsa workshop where I had an exhibit booth promoting my book. He and two brothers who were with him stopped by my table. Once he introduced himself to me and told me he had seen my book at Legacy Books in Plano, I asked him how things were going at the church in Frisco. The look on his face told me all I needed to know; things were not going well. Without being told what was happening there, I encouraged Doug to be strong. Over the coures of the next couple of months Doug and I played golf two times and had lunch together once. We also shared a few emails, and in all of those times Doug never once told me what the issues where with the congregation. He would say things were rough, but he never tried to place blame on anyone or anything. He never indicated who or what the problems were. I have to admire Doug for not making himself "the wounded party" and at the same time not airing the congregations dirty laundry, whatever that dirt may have been. God speed in Clovis, brother.
