		<description><![CDATA[Great post and challenging thoughts. I found your blog through a mutual friend, Kerry Mackey, who has recently come on staff at my church. You have captured a lot of my passions in this post. 

I&#039;m a huge support of the &quot;carpet ministry&quot; -- budgeting to replace the carpet every year or two because of spilled coffee and all the other marks of life that happen in a church. This was illustrated so well for me when I realized that the &quot;pageant&quot; churches budget to replace the carpet every year after the Christmas pageant animals have accidents on it. If they can replace for that reason, shouldn&#039;t we be budgeting to replace carpet because PEOPLE have been using the building? 

We&#039;ve seen the junky car club. Maybe it is time for the junky church club.]]></description>
