The weather is unseasonably warm, like summer in Northern Ontario. I'm not sure whether we are suppose to bask in its warmth or to dread global warming. I guess I'll just bask. Why not, life is short.
Janet and I spent the weekend in Vienna, Virginia, just outside of Washington, DC at the Columbia Union ASI Chapter. It was a good weekend. Not too much stress. The meetings were good--Ivor Myers and Henry Wright. I like Henry Wright's preaching. (That isn't to say Ivor Myers isn't good. He digs a lot of information out of the Bible that few people would ever see, but his style of preaching is a bit condescending. Perhaps it is cultural. Henry Wright uses similar approaches, except not so pronounced.)
There were many people and there was strong participation. The offering was weak, but I think the leaders included too many projects for the size of the congregation.
On Saturday night, those who were interested in joining ASI got together and everyone shared something of their ministries. We got to bed at midnight. (Bear in mind, the time sprang forward that evening as well.)
Janet and I don't need to travel for one and one half weeks. Isn't that cool? We get one weekend at home this month. Actually, we don't mind traveling, but it is hard on one's sleep and eating habits. Starting on the 25ft of this month, we will go until the end of April.
Am I making a difference? Only God knows.
It was a blessing seeing David Fournier and Arwyn in Vienna. Too many people around to really enjoy each other.
