I (Rev. Wally Bear) would like to say something....

15 years ago General

First off thank you all who accepted me already, I love you all.
However, I'm not ready just yet to take on this ministry...I have no Bible studies to go on...I've only read the 2 Mangas and what I've heard threw my life...I'd love to be your Reverend and preach to you...but in the United Methodist church (which is the one I go to), the pastor must be selected by the congregation...
If you do want me as your Reverend and don't mind me learning along the way (feel free to challenge me)...I'll take up the responsibility...

I won't do it unless you all choose me...I believe I've proven myself that I can do the job no problem...and when God did call me to be a pastor He kind of did lean me towards the fandom...

And for others who ARE ordained by man (I'm only ordained in spirit), I'm sure I don't need to tell you but for the rest we minsters will be judged more harshly in Heaven because we are responsible for your spiritual well-being....I know I'd do a good job but remember that...the one you pick is the one who'd be preaching to you...

So, Even if Dog of Heaven chose me to be the official Rev. It's YOU who'd be listening and learning about the good news....

Thank you, and choose wisely...
~Rev. Wally Bear

The Holy Spirit brings us together for reasons sometimes only He knows. But it ALWAYS works out for His glory. The silver lining is what many fail to see and for something like this, and based on what I've read on the newsletters, you will be a great leader. And if not, some will call you out and hold you accountable just like we're commanded to do.

Being a shepherd is no easy task and the spotlight will be more intense on you alone. But you do not walk this path alone for He is with you always and so are those of us that have an attentive ear, shoulder for leaning on, and an outstretched hand ready to support you and pull you up when you stumble.

I may not be a Methodist, but I would be happy to have you as a Rev. I will also try my best to keep you accountable by asking what I don't understand.
May we all grow closer under your leadership if you are chosen.

The Word of God is the same in spirit whether it comes from an Anglican, a Catholic or a Methodist. I would be delighted to have you as my reverend here.

I may not be Methodist, but I think you make an excellent reverend for our lovely group here on FA. :3 You have a kind heart, I can certainly tell. I know I haven't been following this particular group for too long, so my vote or opinion may not count, but I would love to see you continue to preach to us about the beauty of God and all of his workings. ^^ You're doing perfectly thus far, and it would be nice to see you continue.

A man called John Wesely made the denomination. There's two different ones Free and United. We only differ on a few things. United (the church that I go to) is more about what I talk about, fellowship...only bad thing...most fellowships in it involve food and meals...doesn't help the waistline any...But Mr. Wesely came up with a simple saying to sum up what we do:
Do all the good you can,
to all the people you can,
at all the times you can,
in all the ways you can,
by all the means you can,
as long as you can.

I live by that now...

Hrmm I didn't even know there was some sort of opening at all. Perhaps I should have checked in here more often. I've been busy with all sorts of things lately. Well, congrats to you. Sometimes ordination isn't really an absolute necessity, there are plenty of pastors whom have the credentials, but still lack that certain unf to make them great preachers of the Word to move mens spirits and win souls over to God. It is solely up to God to direct and empower his people with the Spirit of mission. In fact we all, as Christians, are called to witness and preach the Gospel...to be the salt and light of the world. So to step up to this role, you are indeed showing a true Jesus spirit....after all our great Savior was not one of the elite scribes, or a pharisee or a high priest voted to his role by men, but was born a lowly peasant and yet did the work of the highest priest of all the ages. So have hope, faith, and keep striving to offer the best you can for the service of God.

PS: If you ever needed help with something, or advice, or encouragement...feel free to drop me a note. I'm always willing to lend a paw, or an ear. :)

Best blessings of grace to you,
Fth. Ezra

I've found at least 3 ordained preachers, you being the 3rd. And I've wondered why none have rised up to do this, what the fandom needs....until almost 3 weeks ago when I was called.
I was the furry pimp...awaiting my time to be the number one...'nobody would stop me' I thought...I now see, that wasn't it...making my will hard as steel in the fires of heavy metal, being a pimp and making me not afraid to speak to anyone....it's all been to do this. There is no atheist, agnostic, or any of them that can beat me down. My will is stronger then any of their anger...all the teasing, fighting, rejection, every evil, every sin was set to do one thing and one thing only...make me strong.
I'm too stubborn to back down to anyone now...I bow to only one thing, God.

I'm not sure who there is to choose from. I believe you are here on your mission and I support you. And I hope that you stay to help us.
I don't know if that means anything. But i'm happy to have you around. you're always really kind.

The whole thing is just for me to know you want me to preach to you, It be pointless if no one here wanted to listen to what I say and a waste of my time...
So, yeah...this journal was just to prove that you don't have to agree with Dog of Heaven's choices...that you guys do matter to me...
God Bless
