Back from Assembly

Well, i made a misstatement. The District Assembly lasted until almost mid day Saturday and so i didn't get back home until after 6pm. i felt okay Saturday, despite the fact that i had spent half the day Friday in bed with a bad headache. It was a *great* time of fellowship and it would just be a crime if the district wasn't filming the entire Assembly (they had three cameras set up for a pair of "closed circuit" big screen projectors but nobody ever mentioned how or where to obtain video of the Assembly.) Since i am *such* a cheapskate, i was unwilling to pay the ten bucks to check my email and so i was seperated from the "e-niverse" for a few days.

Those that know me know that i am an avid reader and i never pass up an opportunity to pick up a good book. i picked up a "Philosophy of Religion" book and a little piece regarding the controversies over interpretation in the beginning of Genesis. No sooner had i come back into the conference (from the bookstore room) and the speaker (a very highly respected man) says "Now i have to be careful what i say here but i am *disgusted* with all the controversies over Genesis 1, 2 and 3!". So naturally i didn't brag to anybody about the book that i had just bought. (insert sheepish grin)

Our monthly Sunday School Board Meeting was tonight and (as usual) it ran longer than expected. (i should be expecting this by now, yes? :-) One of my goals is to have a 15 minute meeting (at least once, please?) but its not going to happen anytime soon - way too much is happening - but its a good happening.

i have to go to Washington, D.C. for a conference on Friday and (depending on how busy things get) i'm not sure when i'll be able to check back here. Thank You to everybody that has let me know that they've seen the blog. This has been kinda fun and it gives me an excuse to tweak html code - something i haven't had a chance to do since... well, its really not important how long ago that was - we'll just say that it was "20th century".
