All hopes to get to bed early are shot … but that’s how things go I guess.
Our business meeting was good actually. It was short and the biggest thing that we did was watch a video about how to treat people with disabilities. The video was both fun and informational and truly made you think about things from another’s perspective.
Dinner was just alright tonight, but that is to be expected (we didn’t eat at our hotel), but we were able to sit with the ecumenical delegates and converse with them. That was fun and I really enjoyed to hear about how they and their churches did business and worshiped.
After that we had our first committee meeting. I’m on the committee for peacemaking and international issues (number 11), but we didn’t do much in committee. We had some get to know you activities that were pointless and unsuccessful followed by an acceptance of the docket, some technical difficulties, arguments about the process, more technical difficulties, and worship. I think it is going to be a highly argumentative group, but hopefully we will provoke good discussion that will lead to compromise and resolution.
Tonight in YAD caucus, we had a Pastor form Switzerland come and answer questions we had about ecumenical practices. It was really neat and I enjoyed the points he made.
It’s 2am here now … so I must go to bed. We have decided that the David Lamotte concert (at 7am) is just not going to work out … so I guess it’s starbucks for breakfast once again. UGH! I have nutrigrain bars though … and those are my favorite, so I guess I can have one of those for breakfast.
My roomie and I are beginning to become giddy in our tiredness so I must hit the hay.
Miss you all and wish you could be here! Much Love …
Oh and I have created a new blog at http://maggie-ga2008.blogspot.com/
I will continue to post the same things on this one, but that one has a beeter layout and is easier to navigate. Both are the same blog text though ... so the choice is up to you :)
