But yeah, RB, happy birthday 🙂.

Do you think that this car choice reflects a Christ-centered life?

better enable you to take people to worship. That same car would enable you to drive extra food
to the soup kitchen.
Further, a Mustang says 'look at me' or 'I'm hot stuff.' Christ teaches humility. How do you reconcile
these views?
If a car is merely to get from A to B, why did you pick such a pimpmobile?

ranks (or whatever it has) to play a service, lead a choir, or play literature. And I fully admit that
such an instrument was built to appease the ego of an organist (Virgil Fox) not to the glory of God.
But that's the instrument they have -- the bed they made, so to speak -- and that's what they have
a duty to uphold. Getting rid of it or replacing it would cost even more money than refurbishing it.
But it's all moot: that Church is falling apart. I heard that the roof is leaking in multiple places and
they don't have enough money to fix it because previous pastors blew the endowment. So, while I have
heard that the instrument is having some significant problems, they pale next to the litany of problems
that the church as a whole is having.
