Coming to an end.

Its 10:35 pm and the 2008 General Conference is still going on. The delegates are trying to finish the legislation. My shift as a page has ended, earlier this evening. I needed to get away from all that was going on, so I went to dinner and back t the hotel to rest.

I need to spend sometime processing the last few days. So many things were passed that it is difficult for me to tell you all that was done. Somethings stayed the same ( the churches current stance on homosexuality), new studies were authorized, and changes were made in various places.

I will update the issues once I am home.

Tomorrow I hope to spend some time seeing the area that I have been in the last two weeks, but haven't seen at all.

Peace

Short Report

Saturday and Sunday were long days. The worship was good. I really enjoy the message from Bishop Hutchinson - challenging us to be born of water and spirit in order to move beyond our four wall and be excited about what God can do. I had to be good yesterday morning. I sat between our Bishop and one of the German Bishops for worship.

The last two days was helping in committees. I was very tired Sunday night and a bit irritable to be truthful. Sometimes even Christians can be a little temperamental and I ran into a few of them on Sunday afternoon.

I was able to switch my schedule around to be off today. I went down to Innis TX to see our former daycare parents Charles and Polly Smith. They use to live on North Bend Rd in Jarrettsville and watched CJ for 7 years and Becca for 2. I go to see several large fire ant hills at their house as well as the wild pig there sun had just caught in a trap. Apparently the pigs and coyotes visit them often.

The pictures above are the tables being used for worship at conference. They are made from wood that had fallen after Katrina hit Mississippi.

See you soon!
