Pastor Ray McGinnis and his wife Marge, live in community at Heritage Village in Gerry, New York. It has been my great privilege to have grown up in the shadow of this preacher from West Virginia -- in my humble opinion he is a great man of faith. Being from West Virginia, Pastor Ray has numerous "home spun phrases" that clearly communicate wisdom. One phrase that is constantly popping up in my journey of faith is , "we can do together much more than we can do alone"
Today's reason -- reason number 9 -- why it is so important to be connected, connected to God and to others is connections make us more productive!
Each of us wants to make a difference in this world in which we live. Our life's impact will be largely determined by the quality of our personal connections -- our relationships. The better connected to God and to others, the greater the impact you will make.
Who is a part of your posse, your team? Who will you seek to make a team member? How will you connect with someone else today, so that together you have maximum impact?

Reasons To Be Connected - Reason 6
Almost 30 years ago, July 1979, I was ordained in the Free Methodist Church -- it hardly seems possible. As I have taken moments recently to reflect I have been gently reminded that I didn't come to that point or to this point in my life, without people who have significantly impacted me. People like Elmer C. Cook, Walter Janowski, Carson Reber, Richard Snyder, Dr. Stanger, Lyle Schaller, Jeff Patton and a host of others, none the least of which is my friend and spouse Linda.
Today's reason -- reason number 4 -- why it is important for us to be connected -- connected to God, and to others, is that connections keep us growing!
Knowing the right thing to do is rarely enough to keep us doing the right thing over the long haul. We need partners to do it with us and encourage us when we feel like giving up.What an incredible experience to be a part of a team!
Who are the people who are connected to you? Who encourage and motivate you? Who will you invest your life in?
