Well, I woke up this morning with a craggy voice and achey all over. (TMI, huh?) Not from too much celebrating the Green either.
I have been fending off a 'bug' for over a week and my pattern is that if I keep moving and working, I can keep it at bay. Once I stop and.or rest, the body says "Oh, here's something you can do now that you have time." Thank goodness for Airborne and prayer.
Sammy is staying at Uncle Roger's while I am gone. It worked out as a bonus that I didn't have to go out in this storm while I am under the weather,too.And I already miss him. But I am glad is with family and his other doggie buddies to keep him happy and busy.
And then the thought of packing for a trip always puts me at sixes and sevens. I never know what to pack to be "just right." All the other Revs come dressed in their Sunday finest and I wonder how they do it and how many suitcases they get to take on the plane. I think comfy and easy when travelling but such is not the case when it is a work-week. And this is a working trip. The Gathering for UCRS is the big business meeting of the year. And I proudly serve the UCORS Cabinet and we present a mini-convocation on Monday.
I have been listening to your feelings and input on the upcoming name change vote and I am going with an open mind and will do all I can to honestly represent the church's voice. I did send our "virtual vote" that the laity of our congregation voted in favor of the name change. The "virtual votes" do not count as a real vote, but the data will be read for everyone to hear how the field is feeling about this major issue.
Ok, I have put off packing long enough. Boy, did I get a lot of other mini-tasks done instead. I found my passport and got the suitcases out of the closet, does that count? Packing is one area where it takes more than just noble thoughts and good intentions.
Rev. Michael is letting me use his laptop while we are up there, so I plan to blog in whenver I can and give personal updates. Won't really be doing e-mails or voice mails, so stay tuned.
Warm & dry for now,
Rev. DD

I love Vancover and know you will too. I hope the weather is sunny so you can see the trees and the beautiful mountains. Take a walk along the Puget Sound if you get a chance. I know you will enjoy the surroundings as well as the work you need to do. You always do.
