Why is it...

...that winning the election for Pastoral Delegate for the circuit produces the sensation of having drawn the short straw? Houston, here we come. In July. Wonderful. Just wonderful. Restructuring. I feel the headache coming on already... Kyrie eleison!

    Watch for my DH. He'll be the tall lay delegate one with the Art Garfunkel hair. :)

    We absolutely must get together in Houston and deconstruct the reconstruction constructively :-) Bring a cushion and some Tylenol.

    This will be the fourth time I've celebrate the joy.... Pittsburg, '92, St. Louis, '95; St. Louis 04 and now Houston.

    Seriously, it will be G-R-E-A-T to see you there~

    Just wait... POUNDS of junk mail will soon start flowing from all portals in the Synod! And don't forget those ABLAZE Moments.... Sigh...

    Congratulations? See you down at Houston HumidityFest 2010.

    (It's a repeat trip for me, but 2007 was from Iowa West; 2010 will be from English District.)

    I'd say you were selected by the Holy Spirit.

    Dude, like I said: you're a boomer empty-nester. Take Mrs. Weedon and live it up on the Synod dime.

    There's a Benihana's just down the block from the hotel.

    you can commiserate with Ralph. He got elected from amongst us. and he says he actually understands by-laws.

    "he says he actually understands by-laws."

    I always thought that that particular gift required a special anointing by the Holy Spirit!

    I'll be there as well, representing all of northeast Tennessee from Wartburt to Bristol. And cleaning house in both church and state as my guiding principle:) Can't wait for the reunion -- only foreseeable bright spot barring the failure of the SP's agenda.

    I don't think that anointing comes from the Holy Spirit. ;-)

    Well, see you in July (that's the only thing about being elected that I like).
