Day Two of the Mennonite Convention...

Well, no sleeping-in this morning -- and after a VERY short night too!
Son-in-law Todd missed his first flight out of Portland to Houston/Columbus yesterday, so he didn't get in until just after midnight. Then we had to be up by six to be showered and dressed and over to the convention center in time for a 7AM breakfast and Delegate sessions that started at 8 AM!

We got back to our hotel tonight at eleven after waiting until 9:30 PM for the "farewell reception" for Executive Director Jim Schrag and Asst. Director Ron Byler. We had two delegate sessions today. I had to go "on-stage" with the rest of the Executive Search Committee to be introduced, but didn't have to say anything. I seem to have a good group of people (7) at the table that I am the table leader for.

I did go to the Women's Dinner tonight, but left early in order to take in the Ted & Co. play. Ted is caring on his comedic skits with a couple of new actors. (His long-time partner died just before conference two years ago.) They put on a very funny "history" of the church and service.
