The Longest Day!

July 5th

So begins the day... Breakfast to hear Phyllis Tickle then our morning worship. Grayde Parsons, our Stated Clerk, gave the sermon. Pretty interesting way that he read the scripture... expanding upon it and describing the background as he read it. Have to remember that...

Committee work began at 9 AM. My committee is #19 out of 19 committees. We are assigned a room not on the lower level... the level below the lower level. Can't even raise a phone signal there so no messaging going on.

The committee moderator got thrown into the role at the last minute and he looks like a deer caught in the headlights. I sit in the front row and couldn't hear him even with the microphone. Had to ask him and everyone else on the front table to "eat" the mike so we could hear! Now everyone has to use a mike to talk. Much better to hear. Gee... maybe I'm going deef! (sic)

Bill M and I got together for a brief supper before returning to committee meetings. Nice to kick back and not talk GA for a while.

Lunch was with the Covenant Network today. I was late getting there and spotted a fellow I had sat next to at Sunday worship. Sat at the empty seat next to him and then learned that not only was he a Presby Exec but everyone else at the table was a mucky muck. Oh well... once again ... in way over my head. Nice group though.

Trotted over to the Hilton to make sure all is set for tomorrow night's birthday party for Carol Mc Donald.

Gotta run... work to do.
