Full day again today. We were up early, started worship at 8 am…the sermon was awesome…and right on time. We had an ecumenical celebration this morning and in part to honor the vote we took to enter “full communion” with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). This means that we fully recognize one another’s [...]

Full day today. We were up early, started worship at 8 am…the sermons are on a downhill slide…I look for someone to step up soon.
HUGE NEWS!! We had the elections for the Judicial Council this morning. The super-conservative group Good News was endorsing two incumbents…and neither was elected! It was unbelievable. The entire Judicial [...]

A good decision to sleep in this morning. I have now had 2 good night’s sleep. The first split over 3 days and 1 last night. Apparently the sermon this morning was pretty good…but I was losing focus. I did say a prayer for Trinity this morning as is my habit whenever I am absent. [...]

The second day began with 4 hours of sleep. We did try a different coffee shop. The coffee was not as good as Starbucks, but the scone was freshly made. So what to do, maybe Starbucks and then the fresh scone…it’s hard work here…
So we started the day with worship. It opened [...]

To begin, our entire delegation’s thoughts and prayers are with Yvonne, Hazel, and Nancy, three members of our delegation who are not able to be with us. They have all had illness or illness in the immediate family and were not able to attend. We are thinking about you!
I [...]
